Description
8x10 oil on canvas boardJust as there is a high contrast between the light and dark in the image, I also wanted to capture both the fleeting and eternal nature of wine and candlelight.Β

Beautiful, sensuous, and elegant...a painting with this subject matter could easily be fussed with too much, but you added just the perfect strokes, not too few and not too much. Just perfect.

Jen, thanks....you have great insight. Β Most of this painting flew by then some of the fine detail had me fussing (I wanted to capture the different texture on top of the decanter) I knew I needed to walk away before I destroyed the simplicity of the image. Β I think knowing when a painting is done or at least good enough is the hardest part of the process. Β Thanks again.Β

Yes, I think knowing when to walk away and let the paint do the talking is the sign of a great artist!
