36 X 24 Oil on Canvas

The grand schoolmaster of painting is still life. Within the implements of the creation of a still life set up lies the shine of silver, the glow of light on glass, the colors and fluid movements of nature and, of utmost importance, the absolute complete still in the stillness of the life in front of the aspiring artist. Learning light and shadow, cool against warm, from the sunflower. Squint as long as you need, the model never moves. Feathers on a stuffed bird, or learning your scales from a fish out of water, no hurry, it will be much the same in an hour or two. There are principles to be learned in art without which no brilliance of creativity can reach its pinnacle.

Invention has a hard go without information and skill. Drawing, values of color, cool against warm, composition, where and how the shapes are placed, edges, textures, and on and on. Ergo, still life. Draw ellipses until they are perfect every time, because the plate never moves. Practice how to handle shadows in yellow on a sunflower until you have discovered the secrets. So still life teaches all the principles and can do it from the security of a kitchen table. Ovanes Berberian, who I admiringly call the Sorolla of our time, has been my mentor in the genius of what can be accomplished while learning the above named skills. The beauty of creation in flowers and fruit and the beauty of other artisans in silver and crystal and pottery that man makes, can be breathtaking when arranged in patterns of shapes and color harmonies that describe them uniquely.

Folds of cloth and shadows of the leaves as the sun shafts through can move us to tears as we become familiar with how to use our paint to depict them on a two dimensional surface. Grandma's spoons or her silver tea set can become immortal. Yes, photographs hold still but their colors are seriously lacking, plus they have little ability to fire within us an adrenaline rush as real objects in stillness can and do. So look closely at this body of still life paintings, picking up on the intensity of color, the looseness of shape, the cool colors making the warm ones sing. Just enjoy the tactical variation and decide for yourself how the Schoolmaster has broadened with practicing this artist's abilities.

Original artwork of Oil on Canvas 36 x 24. Framed at 46.5 x 34.5.

Surprisingly good shirt for the price
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: White, Size: XX-Large
I’m generally pleased with my purchase. I got a 2XL because the website it would fit my neck. Around the waist it fit similar to Amazon Essentials work shirts (like mechanics use which I find comfortable). It was snug around the waist when sitting, but I can’t complain because I have a belly. I did find the neck snug when buttoning the top button so it means the neck is 18 or 18.5 and I wear a 19/19.5 to have 1-2 fingers space in the collar. The shirt is surprisingly thick like Amazon’s work shirts, much thicker than other dress shirts from another brand. And I am pleased that this shirt has button holes like other Amazon shirts does, all vertical button holes except the last one at the bottom which is horizontal. That feature keeps the shirt from unbuttoning itself during daily movement at the office. A very nice feature! I was a little disappointed in how it was packaged however but I have to press and wash it anyway.

Comparable to high end mens shops!
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Blue, Size: Large
Beautiful, heavy blue Oxford comparable to upper end mens store at 75% less! Full cut, great for casual wear or sending out for professional starching. Downside, no pocket, but I had mine monogramed wear the pocket would be and it looks like an expensive dress shirt. I bought more (with pockets) in blue & white

Heavier fabric, very durable
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Grey, Size: Large
3 stars. Pretty nice shirt but the fabric is a bit firmer than i like. I iron it when i usually wear it so that it looks half decent since wrinkle resistance is low or poor. I usually have to use a higher setting on the fabric since the material is thick making it alot heavier. Overall great for the lower end cost, anything that beats it would probably be double the price. I work in a cubicle so this works well for me, a simple shirt, with a simple color.
