A still life oil painting of jewelry draped amongst a blue bottle, two bottles of perfume, and a blue crystal ball. Blue and pearl hues dominate with red and amber contrasts.

In the Stars Tonight

I find still lifes incredibly calming to paint, and I also love the way they can be used to create a 'story' for the viewer. I was able to gather objects from my life to create of the moon, stars, and the night sky...and perhaps, by consulting a crystal ball or some other forecasting method, the viewer might see what they'd like to in this painting.
