Two lemons and a vase of dainty flowers glow under the gentle radiance of the sun, exuding timeless charm. Muted pinks and blues contrast with the vivid yellows. The soft strokes imbue the still life with a sense of stillness and beauty.
About the Artist
Artist Joanie Ford paints impressionist landscapes inspired by the ever-changing qualities of light. She first learned to paint as a teenager when her father taught her how to color photographs. "Color film was new and photographers commissioned black and white portraits to be hand colored," explains Joanie. In her twenties, she pursued a career in portrait photography and earned a Master Artist degree from the Professional Photographers of America. Joanie later returned to oil painting, and added pastels and watercolor to her skillset. Throughout her art career, she's worked to refine her craft through continued education and mentorship. Today, she works from a tidy home studio where she prefers a quiet environment. Every day she takes time to exercise outdoors and observe the people, pets and nature around her for painting inspiration.

- Mini Painting 2, Oil PaintingBy Jose H. AlvarengaLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
"For this piece, I thought it would be so much fun to articulate a painting within a painting," says artist Jose H. Alvarenga." "The image on display is of a lime in the process of being finished with the real subject next to it."About the Artist
Jose’s soft still life paintings are like visual puns. He creates relationships between objects that evoke both amusement and contemplation in the viewer. By devising a clever dialogue between objects, Jose turns a still life into a story. Jose utilizes a classical realist style with a gentle nod to surrealism through his unique subject selections. He is inspired by everyday objects, particularly those with a quality of nostalgia, memory, or humor. Jose paints out of his Los Angeles area apartment, where he also enjoys playing the keyboard and reading art books.Words that describe this painting: still life, classical, realism, fruit, Harnett, Chardin, lime, still life, classical, representational, oil painting, brown

Vintage piano-shaped music box, pen and handwritten note painted in a classical trompe l'oeil style.
