Oil Painting by John Kelley

24″x24″ Oil on Canvas

Here is the still life I have been working on the past couple of days. I have changed my palette rather drastically this summer, which has been a lot of fun. As a result my still life paintings are turning out much brighter. I also set up my color corrected bulb and my florescent lights all to the left of the objects. It was a great way to find out what a lousy job the incandescent, color corrected bulb is doing at matching north light. The color corrected bulb was much warmer than the 5000K florescent lights. I didn’t have any problem finding warm and cool contrasts in this one.

As always, you can contact me if you are interested in this painting.
