Description This oil painting is about the beauty of ceramic vases, in this case a Chinese vase.

A number of my still-life paintings such as β€˜Chinese Vase & Orange’ are concerned with the simple joys of life, leisure, and contemplation. I am also interested in the interplay of light and shadow on shapes and objects.

The style reminds me of the Carder method. It's interesting to see how some eye can grasp the true colours and light of reality. I guess exercise is all. Well done!

I guess that's what makes art so interesting - is that every person has a different way of seeing and re-interpreting reality.

I love color - so perhaps I saturate and heighten it a bit more than in reality thinking paint tends to fade over time.

Thanks for your comments! I didn't know about the Carder method - very interesting.

Simple and elegant. I love the light on the flower petals, and the reflected orange light on the vase.

Thank for your comments - reflected light is so interesting - how it distort and picks up the color of objects. I've always been fascinated with the play of light and shadow.

I love that interplay, it's what drew me to your piece. I've tried a similar piece, but my results were not nearly as elegant.
