Salt & Pepper Study

"Salt & Pepper Study" - 6" x 6" - oil on cradled hardboard panel

*

I have a set of salt and pepper shakers which I inherited from my grandparents. I'd say they date back to somewhere around 1950. I really can't be sure. I only know that they are magnificent in their retro look and feel. I don't actually use them at home, but I do have them placed prominently in my studio for inspiration.

Sugar Study III

Sugar Study III - 6" x 6" - oil on cradled hardboard panel - SOLD

*

The third in a series of sugar cube studies, piled high in a copper and bronze handled tea service dish. Warm sienna against soft gray is such a perfect contrast in my estimation. I love to work with these colors together. After having finished the copper salt and pepper shakers, I wasn't finished working with copper as a subject, so I began this one immediately afterward.
