Horse and Ginger Jar 11x14

Working with still life is a great way to focus on color harmonies and  sharpen observation skills.  Sometimes finished works feel like they belong together. I felt that way about these two. They were done a year apart, but when they ended up side by side, I felt like they were, somehow, old friends. The horse belonged to my mother-in-law and the ginger jar belonged to my mother so they belonged together too.
