"Almost Guacamole" Original Still Life by Gwen Bell

10 X 10" oil on canvas SOLD

Almost Guacamole, but not quite. I forgot to include
the lime and onion. They would have added some
much needed light to the bottom of the composition.
However, I didn't forget them when I made the
actual Guacamole for my Nachos. YUM!

6 X 6 oil on canvas

I am finding that dark cups on light fabric have
incredible reflections. It's so much fun to try and
capture them on the canvas!

"Paisley Plums" original Still Life by Gwen Bell

10 X 10 oil on canvas

A friend gave me this cool fabric. The bits of red
inspired me to paint the red vase again. By
shining the light through the clear red glass I was
able to create a glowing shadow. Fortunately, the
fabric was light enough that the shadow remained
reddish. So much fun to paint!

6 X 6 oil on canvas SOLD

I love the gold handles on these tiny China cups.
Just had to paint them! They have been in my
family for years. When I was a little girl, it was
always such a special treat to be allowed to play
Tea Party with them.

"Yellow Teapot II" original oil painting by Gwen Bell

©2010 Gwen Bell
6 X 6 oil on canvas

I've painted this little yellow teapot before but
I never get tired of it. I found this pretty new
fabric and thought the blue made a nice compliment
to the yellow. It has a large pattern and will lend itself
nicely to quite a few paintings.

"Sequestered" original still life by Gwen Bell

10 X 10 oil on canvas

I've painted this same tea towel time and again. However,
this is the first time I've painted it larger than 6 x 6 and I
loved being able to include more of the pattern. Once I
saw how it looked reflected in the shiny mixing bowl I
knew I had to go ahead and paint it once more.
