STILL LIFE

This exercise with light and shadow, the different

textures of glass and fabric and a contrast between the

living flowers and the inanimate objects was interesting

to do. I found it was easier to paint the various objects

if I stopped to handle them from time to time, to get

the feel not only of the hard coldness of the bottle, but

its roundness as well.

I believe that we learn by practice… it is the performance of a

dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which

come shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of

spirit. (Martha Graham)
