As I was enjoying my coffee one morning I looked up and was amazed by the view in front of me. There, over our fireplace was our mantel, decorated by my wife Cindy. I jumped up, got my digital camera and captured the light and shadows that danced on and all around the beautiful objects that were displayed there. A couple years passed after printing out the photo. I recently looked through some of these old photos and revived my interest in this scene. It has been years since I last painted a still life so I wasn’t sure how this would come out. Cindy and I are I quite pleased and would like to invite everyone to see our creation. It is acrylic and its dimensions are 24"x30". Entitled "Cindy's Mantel" it is currently available for $900.
I recently won an Honorable Mention at the Huntsville "Oktoberfest" Art Show on September 14, 2008 for the above painting called "Bridging Summer and Fall". As all my paintings in the last few years it is acrylic. The dimensions are 24"x30" and it is currently available for $1200.
