Description
Oil on Canvas, 8 x 10 inches. A small Still Life of music sheets, rolls of paper, a candle, and an ink and quill. I'm really enjoying doing these music still lifes in the candlelight and I plan to do them more often, depends, but I think they feel right and suite the subject the way I want it too.Now listed for sale on my etsy shop!Β www.etsy.com/listing/210073873β¦

Well done my friend!
This piece gives off a very scholarly air to it, now i know it was supposed to be a writing of some musician, but to me the whole thing spells out library or scholar, something to do with books and writing.
Just some things I'm going to point out that i really enjoyed; I really like the detail on the writing quill, how every part conecting to the shaft of the feather is very defined and seperate, yet all clumped together at the same time. I really like how the colorscape you have chosen is yellow, [which really sent the "scholarly" vibe home for me at least] because that's a really good color that is plucky and happy most of the time but the yellow you used I think is rather desaturated, making it seem old and timeless. So, overall, fantastic job on thsi piece, and um, well continue the great work!

The way you paint your lines and how they make up the composition, it reminds me of a Van Gogh piece. I love the warmth it gives, I can feel the glow of the candle. I love the textural look just the overall composition. How long did it take you to make this? My eyes first are brought to the candle flame because of the light it shines over the wall, very nice. You have a really amazing talent and I hope to find more of your work. Keep up the good work and continue to make a lot of great things e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

Thank you very much! Light has been an interest in my paintings because it is the source of color

These paintings have got me wondering. Are you a composer?

Actually, I do a bit. Nothing major so far, but every once in a while I do compose some music.

That's wonderful! You should send me some! Do you have it digitized? My email address is fern.ivy@gmail.com. Or (hopefully) you're on YouTube. I'm guessing that you don't have it recorded, but I hope you do.

I will send you some once I manage to finish something I am sure of, haha. I keep jumping around to different songs and keep struggling at the moment, but I will send you some once I get them complete, ha. I haven't made a YouTube for them yet, but I plan on it, possibly.

Even an incomplete one interests me. I'm something of a music fanatic.

Well, maybe I could send you some incomplete stuff, though I have lots to learn and need improvement, but that's alright! ha.

The light falls wonderfully across the parchment and the table, what did you use as reference? Composition-wise, the light of the candle draws the eye to the center of the work perfectly! The music does not look like the direct focal point, which, whether or not you were going for that, I really like. It makes the piece quiter, more delecately beautiful.

The first glance and what came to my mind was: something from van Gogh that I don't know.
But I'm even more impressed seeing it's your own work, not a copy. BRAVO!
