Still Life Study

Apples Apple half 2008.jpg


Apples and Apple Half Still Life Study – 5" x 7" Oil on Canvas Panel SOLD

This little painting is a study of a portion of a still life composition I have currently set up in my studio. I am working on a new “frieze” painting with apples and apple halves. As I have never painted an apple half I wanted to get some practice in.

Thanks, Liz

#workinprogress #oilpainting of a new flower, foxglove! I am painting flowers I sowed in late February and am so happy that some have decided to bloom this year. Foxglove are biennials, so they typically take two years to bloom. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This painting is from a new series of paintings I am working on, and I am calling this collection "From Garden to Vase". I will be sharing hints and peaks of the different pieces as I am creating them.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #fromgardentovase #gardentovase #elizabethfloyd #elizabethfloydart #elizabethfloydpainting #indirectpainting #indirectoilpainting #stilllifepainting #naturamorta #homegrowntflowers #fromgardentostudio #floralstilllife #stilllifepainting #foxgloves #digitalispurpurea
Creating beautiful spaces that represent the best that is your life can be challenging, however it is so rewarding to surround yourself with things that have meaning and bring you joy. This is what art does. It reflects personal individuality and what you value like nothing else. ⠀⁠⠀ ⠀⁠⠀ This watercolor is full of some favorite things -- garden flowers (foxglove and dahlias), blue and white porcelain, stacks of art books, especially a lovely book of art by Frederick Carl Frieseke – to celebrate all the beautiful surprises that may come into our lives. ⠀⁠⠀ ⠀⁠⠀ Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly and Flowers, watercolor on paper, approx 15 x 11 inches (38 x 28 cm). AVAILABLE, DM me for details.⠀⁠⠀ ⠀⁠⠀ Day 193 - Make Art Everyday 2019⁣⠀⁠⠀ .⁣⠀⁠⠀ .⁣⠀⁠⠀ .⁣⠀⁠⠀ #elizabethfloyd #elizabethfloydart #elizabethfloydwatercolor #makearteveryday #makeart2019 #watercolor #thecreativehabit #everydaymoments #dahlias #gardenflowers #dahliawatercolor #floralart #fineart #painting #creative #artoftheday #blueandwhite⠀#frederickcarlfrieseke #easterntigerswallowtail #easterntigerswallowtailbutterfly #booksinpaintings #booksinart #victoriamagazine @victoriamagazine @teatimemagazine @flowermagazine
Another work from my new series "From Garden to Vase". This is of the first dahlias picked from the garden this year. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ After two years of having dahlia tubers fail because of damp soil in the sunniest spot in my yard, I decided to try my hand at growing dahlias from seed. I got my seeds from @johnnyseeds and so far I like what has grown and I like the variety of colors.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Dahlias from the Garden.⁠ 6x6 inches, oil on cradled panel, to be released later this year when the series, "From Garden to Vase" is complete.
