Painting Still Life is a classic form of art painting which I find very satisfying and therapeutic. I like the challenge of depicting the objects as forms, shapes and colours and the importance of lights and shades. Often more exacting than painting people, animals or places it has the advantage of the subject staying stillContinue reading “GoddessArt -Still Life”
