STILL LIFE BY CONNIE RISH

This oil still life was painted by Connie Rish who has been studying with me.  She recently finished this painting, which was done in oil, on linen on panel, from life, in my studio. Connie will have an exhibition of her work at "Guthrie Art Walk Second Saturday", in Guthrie, OK on April 9, 4 - 9 pm at 123 West Oklahoma Ave., Guthrie.

I'm getting ready for FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS in Oklahoma City and I've just finished this piece for the show.  The cloud is made up of about 15 layers of soft pastel colors.  It took a little while to achieve the illusion of volume ~ but I'm satisfied with the result.

Festival of the Arts starts Tuesday, April 26 thru Sunday, May 1
