"Oranges and Blue Bowl"

"Oranges and Blue Bowl" by Sandra Galda

5"x7" oil on gessoboard

This is one of the set of Pottery Barn bowls from a garage sale last summer that I enjoy using for still lifes. Just to see what I could produce in one half hour ---I set the timer. A fun exercise. I may go back in later today and put more work on the piece.

Squash Preparation by Sandra Galda (NA)

11"x14" approx. oil on masonite

This is pretty much done now. I see areas that I could still work on further, now that I have taken a picture and posted. I may continue with this later. There is a time at the end of a large painting where I find myself putting in highlights, dark notes, and adjusting details. It is sort of like putting on earrings. These details really finish an outfit...I mean a painting! So fun. If interested in purchasing contact my email address sgalda@aol.com Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment!

Red Market Pears (sold)

Red Market Pears (after greeting card art by Elizabeth Brandon, 2004)

by Sandra Galda

30"x36"

(sold)

Today's post is a painting I created while I was looking at a beautiful greeting card I own. My own version of Elizabeth Brandon's beautifully painted pears was copied in oil by me, without any artificial reproducing means-I just set the card up, looked at it, and painted it, as if it was a real still life set up. I used this exercise to learn to refine my work. Today another wonderful artist I love to follow, just happened to include such an exercise in his daily post, his name is Qiang Huang, Check out his blog (click on his name), he explains the artsit custom of painting after a famous artist for personal training.
