Blue Jeans

Here’s a recent paint­ing. Blue Jeans, 16 × 12”, oil on panel. I think this one rep­re­sents a step for­ward for me. It’s tech­ni­cally my first still life, although not exactly tra­di­tional. I posted this to a cou­ple of art fora and got bet­ter feed­back on this than any other paint­ing I’ve shown. I think it’s because of the strong, sim­ple com­po­si­tion. Right now I’m work­ing on a sim­i­lar piece: a paint­ing of a win­dow in my stu­dio. I guess it will be the sec­ond in the “stuff on my stu­dio wall” series.
