Still Lifes

By Pmeurice
Some works from the last year and months... I still have to unpack most of my painting supplies after the move. (hoping to find the time for fresh work very very soon!)
Still lifes are not the subject I prefer... But, here again, the subject is just a pretext, to try new materials, and to play with colors or composition.

Three apples and one Lemon


Pêches


   On the images above, I used Soft pastels on a paper covered with a watercolour background. At the time, I was just starting with pastels and it was just a funny attempt to play with this new media. 
Same purpose with the oil sketches below: 

Lemons


Three pears and a Lamp


All these studies are more or less 'academic'. Maybe this subject will come back... Once again, I prefer Landscapes and human figures, but Still Lifes provide restful subjects and playful exercises...
