"Spring Daffodils" still life painting by Robin Weiss

"Spring Daffodils" 12x9 oil on panel  $700

 

The spring flowers have been awesome but the weather....not so much.....but that's okay because I have an awesome studio space!  I can set up still life's or just plop a handful of flowers in various vases scattered around and paint by the windows....

I had a tough time with all the yellow in this painting!  The goal was to make the yellow a big shape and define the flowers with subtle value and temperature changes. I sort of did that but still,  the vase looks better than the flowers.. 

My studio space... It's at the Knowles Studio in Poulsbo, WA. I have been working there for over ten years!  The studio owner and my colleague and friend is Leigh Knowles Metteer. She is an educator, print maker and all around amazing human!  We have a good time there making art, teaching art and talking about all kinds of stuff. Each year, the second weekend in November we participate in Arts in the Woods. Leigh is on the board of the Cultural Arts Foundation in Kitsap which puts on AITW. We also participate in many of the arts related events and competitions in the PNW region. 

The Knowles Studio is open to the public most week days and Saturdays.  You can check out the website HERE for more info on classes and events.
