Hi everybody!

 

One of my friends recently asked me if I am bored to paint still lives.

I answered him NO and explained why.

 

Hopefully, this newsletter will explain it a bit more.

 

I love the beauty of ordinary things. The beauty of an old oil lamp
found at the antique store, the fragility of an antique perfume bottle,
the glowing colors of a seashell, the beauty of the light hitting a
piece of an old wood make me feel excited about the paintings they can
be made into. 

When I get a box with the objects that I use to paint from life off the
shelf, I feel like a little girl who is getting her treasure box out of
a secret place. Then I play with my treasures arranging them into
something I like and start this magic process of painting. What an
enjoyment that is!

 

My best wishes to everybody

 

Elvira.
