Still Life

Flowers, pitchers, cherries and a cup of tea turn the tabletop into a place to linger.

Afternoon Family Tea and Red Bing Cherries on Linen Tablecloth share flowers and tableware, yet their rhythms differ. One gathers a pitcher, cup and small pastries into a quiet arrangement. The other spreads yellow flowers, a blue jug, cherries and patterned cloth across the surface.

Try looking first at the containers and then at the spaces around them. Their upright shapes steady the composition while flowers and fabric introduce movement. The familiar objects make these paintings easy to enter; the small relationships between colors reward a longer visit.
