Christmas in July - Shiny Ornaments - Still Life Painting
Christmas in July; for me that means painting a Christmas themed painting in the middle of summer.
In my collection of still life objects is a group of vintage ornaments. I put the ornaments down on a surface and let them fall where they would. This was the composition that took place.
Some of the ornaments were super shiny but others were dull from years of being stored away. The glitter on the front left ball was in tact and quite fun to duplicate with paint. The ornament behind it on the right was really dull and had stripes of old glue that ran down it where the glitter had fallen off and the glue had discolored to brown. The shiny silver balls were grabbing and reflecting colors from all the others around them creating a type of kaleidoscope effect. Then the shadows on the surface and wall were strong.
These ornaments were hand painted back in the day they were created and so none of the stripes are perfect. I had to control myself to not make them perfectly even or straight. lol
