I must have painted over 100 still life paintings but not all have I deemed worthy of a frame and this is one that I was happy to put in a nice custom frame.
Elipses are hard, and painting this collander (strainer) meant the extra challenge of getting a tilted view absolutely correct. The secret was to tilt the canvas and carefully get the round opening of the collander to look right. The light passing through the holes is my favorite part of this painting although the corn and the whiskey bottle took more time.
