Many times I find solace in painting still lifes. I enjoy observing a still life as it takes on its own identity as it emerges from a blank canvas. I don't always know what the final painting will look like, since I let it speak to me.

Still life painting offers me the opportunity to arrange a variety of textures and colors in a controlled environment with spot lighting. I use either flowers or fruit to introduce a sense of life in and among the vases, drapery, and other inanimate items. Occasionally a butterfly will find it's way into the painting along with strategically located dewdrops.
