Still-life with White Pitcher, Egg and Pewter Vase Kathleen Swaydan Oil on Belgian Linen Panel 8" x 10" $395
I am a studio artist. My art focuses primarily on realistic still-life and landscape paintings. I work in several media depending on the subject at hand. Whether oil, watercolor, pastel, or graphite, my art is influenced by the ancient Greek and Roman tradition of still-life and landscape paintings frequently found on the walls of guest quarters in private domiciles such as those located in Pompeii. These images provided a private devotional area and visual banquet for the guests and evoked an impression of hospitality and generosity. This ancient tradition is the undertone of my artwork. “Still-life with White Pitcher, Egg and Pewter Vase� appears to be a monochromatic still-life study; however, the objects are represented in their actual color. The reflective surfaces offer additional interest for the viewer.
