My Tuesday night still-life group has made a change for the fall. We begin our weekly sessions by viewing select artwork from artists who paint in distinctive styles. Then, using a still life or photo, we attempt to evoke something of the artist while we paint for 90- minutes.
This week, we considered Fairfield Potter’s interior scenes with figures, which often communicate a calm, friendly vibe through the use of warm colors and ordinary household items. The person who set up for tonight composed three photographs to work from that included her son, dog, and cat. For the background, I used my fireplace and its adjoining wall.

Very lovely. It has a peaceful vibe.

I think you achieved the mood here. The man and animals seem utterly content. I love the warmth of your color scheme.

I think you have a really good colour sense. Love the orange on the floor and the blues (especially on the vase) and greens.
