Thread in a Jar, Oil Painting

2025

Artist Comments
A large mason jar resting on a rustic table brims with colorful sewing thread, with two empty wooden spools creating a striking contrast against the vibrant hues. Soft light glows on the glass surface, casting subtle highlights that add depth and realism to the scene. A muted background of gray, beige, and soft blue frames the composition.

About the Artist
Artist Steve Boggs captures the interplay of light and form in his layered, atmospheric, and still-life paintings. His artistic journey started with an accident. "I stumbled upon a book by an oil painter, and something clicked in my head - for the first time, I looked at a real professional painting and could see how it was done," says Steve. In his works, he seeks to balance realism with creative interpretation. Steve paints in a spacious and organized studio above his garage in Hendersonville, Tennessee. When not creating art, he enjoys perfecting Neapolitan and Roman pizzas, cooking Mediterranean and Southern barbecue, and continually honing his guitar skills.
