art is born of the observation and investigation of nature

Still Life

Quiet moments of observation. Finding the poetry in everyday objects to reminds us of the beauty already there.

Wandering through the woods or strolling along the beach. Experiences waiting to be captured.

I took a break from my larger projects yesterday with this little alla prima pomegranate study. It was fun to experiment a little bit with some colours and paint application. #art #painting #oilpainting #allaprima #pomegranate #stilllife #study #oneanddone

Today is my birthday, so I had an idea to put together a post of my top five favorite paintings. However, I quickly realized that whittling down all of my favorites to five is darn near impossible. So today you get this little gem from Jules Bastien-Lepage which is on the home screen of my phone. It is absolutely brilliant and I'm constantly trying to glean bits of its wisdom for my own work. #art #painting #oilpainting #figure #portrait #arthistory #instaart

Gaston La Touche After an amazing vacation seeing inspiring paintings in Chicago and some of the raw, jaw dropping beauty of nature in Iceland I'm refreshed and ready to get back to the studio. Here's some terrible pictures of my favorite painting in the Art Institute. It was an absolute pleasure seeing it in person. #art #painting #oilpainting #figures #artinstituteofchicago #chicago #arthistory #instaart

Rembrandt van Rijn Just a terrible picture of this painting. But I feel like any picture of any Rembrandt is inevitably going to be awful compared to the real thing. #art #painting #oilpainting #portrait #chicago #artinstituteofchicago #instaart #arthistory
