Original New Oil Painting Still Life Lemons on Canvas Panel

 

 

 

Titled: “Lemons in Red”

 

The use of analogous color in your paintings, like in the case of this still life, is perfect for those beginning or more experienced in painting, you can create the feeling of a  variety of color with just a few.  When creating your paintings, you will have a better understanding of color and it’s relationship with each other.

Using a limited palette is not only great to do practice in oils or any medium but will train your eye as well. The still life, the lemons even tho part of the artwork are not the main subject but the background, used a combination of impressionism and abstract to make a relationship between the old and the modern.

Studying the Great Henri Fantin-Latour he’s beautiful flower paintings. The reproduction Size 16” by 20” on canvas.  Titled: “To Henri alla prima” took artistic license, my version.

 

My heartfelt prayers are with those affected by the hurricane, things appeared as in back to normal, but… there’s a silence here, in the south. The fire department and local schools, are continually taking donations for those affected by the hurricane. I Hope you are safe and sound.

This artwork is available for auction http://myworld.ebay.com/vargasartstudio and possibly part of the earnings will be donated, won’t give more details in which or where, because I am a big believer of the golden rule,and “what the right hand do, don’t let the left hand know”. 

Be grateful. As usual thank you for your time, hope you continue pushing the medium of preference.

Hope you are having an great time, I have been recuperating,so that is real good news, slowly than expected, but steady, other than today, woken up with a weird cold?

Still life oil painting flowers and vase sketch on canvas paper

 

Titled: “Recovery”

Well just like the titled of the painting that is what is happening in my own life, learning to do everything and each and every day is a new experience, yet I have learned to appreciate even more the value of life it self and how beautiful is been able and share my talent with all whom care.

For the upper painting chose one of the life arrangements that a dear friend of mine got me to cheer me up, looking at the vase noticed how blue is the predominant color so chose that to be the theme of the painting, a lighter background, focusing in the petals and the pink ribbon surrounding it, the second painting has more a darker background as well and is titled “learning”, Shadows come to play and a mix of raw sienna and burnt umber played a big role in both paintings.

Grateful to be able and continue with Art and to share this with you, knowing that there’s more progress to come and my life has been completely rearranged for the better.

 

 Titled: “Learning”

“On the floor”

 

This was a simple setup of an orange. Oil on canvas board 9” by 12”

The children wanted to use the blender today, which got me a little nervous since is the first time they are allowed to use it, expecting having blue berries, strawberry smoothie all over the walls.

Wile drinking the mixed berries, asked them if I could borrow one of the oranges to paint, they all agreed at the same time, and say uhuum… and this still life was born. .

Titled: “Growing Wild”

 

   Giving them an “ants view” bottom up, to see this majestic and beautiful flower, in a different perspective, immediately fell in love with it’s  translucent whites and flow on the background as if nature it self plays a symphony to feast our eyes.

My respects and after the master, Van Gogh who continues to be one of my must beloved and interesting painters to follow up to this day, When I saw this set of Irises said: Have to try them!

“The Queens of Spring”

Spring is the season that strives in colors and what better reason to take out the watercolors from that dusty compartment and give them back their dignity, in just right of time, they finally agreed to teach me a lesson of two with undertone. And the adventure, began!

 

The miniatures are the new experiment with color techniques and undertones, the results so far excellent, treating watercolors with the same care and respect as if oils. The advantage that the medium gives to light, absolutely no comparison.
