Glass and Eggs Still Life,canvas,oil painting,20x16,Framed,Barbara Haviland

This still life was done from a photo that I used from Wet Canvas. (Thanks). If you belong to the site, they have a marvelous reference library. I loved how this was set up and I took forever to get it right.   I like how it came out. The painting measures 20"x16" and is framed making it a little larger. I love how the blue jar and background of Yellow orche meld for some contrast. The container with the eggs is smokey looking but it doesn't show in the photo.

Brown Eggs by Pamela Blaies

Scrambled or Fried?
6" x 6"

Here are some more brown eggs - I just love the colors I see when the light hits them. They warm up this painting full of cool blues and greens.

You Have to Know These Things When You're a King by Pamela Blaies


6" x 6"
oil on linen panel

Why are some eggs brown and some are white? Apparently, it's all about the chicken. Hens with white feathers and earlobes produce white eggs and those with red feathers and red earlobes produce brown shelled eggs. I didn't even know chickens had earlobes! My husband often uses this appropriate Monty Python quote, "You have to know theses things when you are a king."

        My Blog                                           My Website
The Daily Paintworks Challenge for the week of January 8- 14 is to paint a picture of your breakfast.  Well, this was not my breakfast because I couldn't cook in the studio!  I actually had 2 slices of bacon, two fried eggs, and a healthy juiced fruit and vegetable combo that was made from 1 beet, 1 carrot, 1 apple, 1 orange and a one inch square of fresh ginger.  Oh, not to forget the large cup of Colombian coffee  "straight"! I haven't posted for a week because my children celebrated Christmas with me on the 7th. of January.  I was busy last week with some extra shopping and wrapping, and preparing or picking up food for the weekend.  So the ham in this picture is part of a Honeybaked ham we had.  I still have too much leftover, even though they each took some home.  Ham anybody?! I painted this over a previously used canvas.  I have photos of the canvas and my value study on my blog         www.gloriajzucaro.blogspot.com

Contemporary Still Life by Paula Peacock


'Why the Chicken REALLY Crossed the Road'
12" x 24"
Oil on Canvas

I often say that I don't choose the subjects I paint, they choose me. While browsing through a local flea market, the little chicken sugar and creamer set caught my eye and for some goofy reason unknown to me, I was transfixed. They begged to be bought and at 99 cents I couldn't refuse. I love pairing unusual objects with each other. Add a little whimsy and I'm right at home with the composition.
