It's Still Life

Though I most enjoy painting the landscape, I figured it's about time to give still life its due here. During the winter months, still life is my go to for honing my powers of observation. It is especially nice in that it's aided by my complete control of the environment - I set up the arrangement and the lighting, then can come back to it, if need be (as long as it's nothing too perishable - haven't tried fish yet!). I've decided to add some of my still life paintings to my portfolio, and am including a few here...see what you think.
