Original Oil Still Life Painting, "Candle in Shadows", 6x8"

One day I became fascinated with the shadows of a palm that were streaming through my window.  I soon had a camera full of images of everything I could carry, push, pull or roll over to the window.

You may remember these shadows on a few other paintings that I have posted over the last few months!
I think one of the greatest advantages of being an artist, is our ability to look at the world with new, fresh eyes.

LIKE A CANDLE IN THE WIND, 8X6", OIL

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did


Elton John

I have always loved this song.  It was even more meaningful to me when he changed the lyrics for Princess Diana's funeral.

When summer comes and the earth tilts just right,  the most beautiful shadows of palms come through my window.

You may have noticed that I have been placing fruit, vegetables and other paintings there for several weeks now.

Isn't nature the most beautiful gift!  Have a wonderful weekend!
