Artist Comments
This is a very simple yet complex painting because of its details. I always try to start very simple and then build the painting in layers. For this particular piece I worked in four layers. The last two layers were to add the small details.
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.

- Calathea with a Green Pitcher, Oil PaintingLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Christopher Garvey displays a realistic still life of a potted calathea plant and a green glass pitcher. "I've always found greens a challenge since I typically mix my greens," shares Christopher. He compels himself with a study of different shades using multiple blue and black hues. The skillful interplay between light and shadow creates a visually balanced and pleasing composition.About the Artist

He currently lives in South Carolina and finds inspiration in Renaissance and Baroque art.
