I had a great time at the Claudia Seymour Workshop last weekend in Georgetown at the wonderful Windberg Art Center. She is an excellent still life artist from Connecticut and President of the Salmagundi Club (Center for American Art) in New York City. Claudia was open to all interpretations of a still life, and even though she is an amazing realism painter, she loved the color and expressionism of other artists. Here are pieces of the two paintings I started, and hope to finish in the near future….
Still life - copper and teal
Detail of mango still life
And btw, I still hate ellipses…. anyone have a tried and true method for drawing an ellipse???

What a talent you have Regina! I love the softness of everything you do. It must be a reflection of your heart.

These are great. I am so slow. A friend suggests putting perpendicular lines in the center of the ellipse and then marking the width of the ellipse on the cross line and the depth to back and front on the up and down line and then adding the arcs. It helps some and you can do the top and bottom with the same measurements to have them the same, but I always forget. Ha.
