Jill Pottle
"Milk Bottles", contemporary, still life, bold colors, retro, oil painting

2014

About the Item

Jill Pottle’s still life titled “Milk Bottles” is part of a series titled “Epic Still Life.” This series is ongoing since 2014 and involves collections of objects that are well-loved and used in our homes. In this 46 x 28 inch oil painting on stretched canvas, one can see her sense of humor and delight in her depiction of “retro” objects in juxtaposition to each other. The animated spaces around the bottles create emotion; she uses bold patterns and high chroma to move the eye around the canvas. The canvas has a cleanly painted side edge, is ready to hang and will bring color into any room. Known for her complicated and engaging still life and loose plein air work, Jill Pottle is a New Realist painter from Worcester County. Her aim is to capture movement and emotional qualities in her canvases. In her still life paintings, she most often uses retro or well-worn ordinary objects that focus attention on life in our contemporary world. In her landscapes, she freezes a moment in time to exemplify the power of the life force in nature. Rich brush work and high chroma characterize her fluid painterly style in both areas of subject matter. The play of light on different surfaces and the layering of paint create depth and resonance in her work. Pottle is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
