Thanks Kathleen, D, Genine, Laserone, and Tracy! I had fun trying to come up with a still life for my everyday articles. I wish I could push that bottle more upright! It's a little off kilter. Oh well. Oh, that reminds me, I better eat those bananas! Thanks for commenting!
Thanks Ronell and Chelsie! Maybe I'll consider pulling together still life objects that are red next time. Truthfully tho', most of my cool stuff I've collected are a boring brown!
It's gorgeous! I love the colours and the composition and of course the painting itself is just brilliant ... such simple objects and you've created beauty out of them :) Am off to fave it on flickr!
I love the rich color, and the splattered background and the way you handled the reflections and shadows... the whole painting is simply gorgeous. And I really enjoyed seeing the sketch that you worked from. I always learn something when I visit your blog. Your "thinking" award is well deserved. Congratulations.
M - Thanks, I'm threatening to do a similar red or maybe a purple oriented still life. Do I have red or purple things? Hmmm. Thanks again for the award. :) Juj - Thanks to the support from you and everyone else, I get really enthused about practicing! Thanks!
Hi! I'm an outdoor-lovin' optimist, biologist/botanist, and habitual creator of art-stuff. I believe the key to our most fundamental and truest part of ourselves is found in nature and I constantly draw on it for inspiration.
"Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more".
- Vincent van Gogh
Just shoot me an email at joanyoshioka(at)gmail(dot)com! The oil paintings were painted with artist grade paints on cotton canvas with sides painted black so they don't have to be framed; they hang perfectly with a little nail (not pretentious at all!). Watercolors are on Arches 140 lb. watercolor paper using artist grade paints; the art cards are sent out in a sturdy plastic art card sleeve. If you'd like the original watercolor matted, please let me know. All prints are giclee meaning they are made with archival pigment dyes and are professionally mounted on acid free foam board with acid free mats in a clear cellophane envelop. Please note that the colors in the originals may differ from your screen.
