The painting entitled "Backlit Flowers" was selected for inclusion in the book "Best of Still Life - America" so I painted several additional still life paintings for their consideration: “Amber Rose”, “Fruit Bouquet” and “Poolside Yellows”. Colors are much more easily seen in natural light, so for “Poolside Yellows” I set up the arrangement on a table next to our community pool. I wanted to juxtapose the cool blue of the water with the warm yellow of the flower arrangement and orange.
