Here is a painting of some clementines in a crystal bowl. I decided to go a little abstract with the reflected light on the crystal facets and it ended up reminding me of sunrays, which inspired the title.
I
spotted this great vintage Canadian General Electric fan at a huge and
wonderful antiques and collectibles mall up in Barrie, Ontario. I loved the combination of the brass coloured
blades and cage against the black of the body.
Really enjoyed painting it.
I
came across this beautiful native mask in a shop in Old Quebec City this
summer. The store was full of lots of
interesting things. They had several
native carved masks on the wall, but this one in particular caught my eye with
all its bright colours.
I was passing through my kitchen one cold
January day and was stopped in my tracks by the winter sun bathing these
clementine beauties in an orange-golden glow and sending the crystal reflections
dancing across the island counter. The
challenge of capturing the crystal and the reflected oranges made this a
particularly fun painting to do.
