This drawing was done as a class demonstration on how to use pastels. Pastels have a lovely luminosity. If done on white paper, they require a charcoal under drawing to produce the richness of hue.

Italian Soda by Char Fitzpatrick | Dessert Still Life
42"x32"
Oil
I love food and particularly Italian food. I worked in a family-owned Italian deli for years, appreciating the look of the food as well. I enjoyed the challenge of pouring an Italian soda in one of the beautiful reflective glasses and rapidly painting it. I painted it lovingly large.

Bouquet in Yellow Room by Char Fitzpatrick | Floral Still Life
14x17
Oil crayon
This was another experimental bouquet in which I was getting the feel of oil crayons, while maintaining a scratchy drawing feeling.

Jan's Bouquet by Char Fitzpatrick | Floral Still Life | Oil Painting
20" x 16”
Oil on canvas
My sister grows a marvelous garden every summer. She loves all kinds of flowers and has a gift for arranging them. I passed this bouquet in her entryway and was mesmerized by the color control and the textural variety of flowers. I often see a "trick of the eye" when I paint, in this case a spatial puzzlement where the shadow of the vase meets the gray of the wall, which should appear to be behind it. I like to tweak those things if I see them.
