"Lean On Me" 6x6

"Lean On Me" 

6x6  oil on canvas panel

This painting was one that I did in my workshop with Carol Marine in Louisiana back in December. Since my comfort zone is landscapes, I had never really done a still life painting from life before attending her workshop. I have been following her work since I started painting again, and just decided not to try still life until I took a workshop from her. Sometimes for me, it seems easier not to "crowd" my brain and I wanted good information in there about still life painting before I gave it a shot. Anyway, as many have said before, she is a WONDERFUL teacher and a very kind and cool person on top of that. I was hesitant going anywhere in December since it is always such a busy month, but I was so thankful I did after the workshop was over! She has years of experience and is very sharing and giving in helping other artists. Plus, I met so many fun people and fellow artists there too! This is one of the benefits of going to workshops that I have truly enjoyed and keeps me going to more of them. Her workshops fill up fast, and I can see why now! Needless to say, if you have not had her workshop and enjoy still life painting, try to enroll in one if you can sometime.

This painting is available for purchase in my Etsy shop Denise Rose Studio
