| Echo (Apple and Nautilus at a Window), 8" x 10", oil and 12k white gold leaf on panel |
My new painting
Echo will soon be on its way to
Haynes Galleries for the small works show! The idea for this painting began when I glanced over at my table full of potential still life objects and one accidental arrangement caught my eye: a ripe red apple reflecting pink in the neighboring pearly nautilus shell, surrounded by the suble lavender hue of my studio walls. I loved the combination of delicate pastel colors with the vibrant candy-apple red of the fruit, and set up a still life with the shell and apple sitting on a windowsill. I decided to frame the composition within an elliptical arch gilded in white-gold leaf, to echo the curves and shimmer of the nautilus.
