Still Life/City Life - 30 Paintings in 30 Days - Day 2

"Late Summer Days"
Oil on Panel  6 x 6"
Today is a still life day. I love painting them. When I first started painting I was in love with the landscape. But after I started teaching I learned the value of the still life. I set them up in the classroom and we all learn to "observe". We have to continually teach our eyes how to see like an artist. It's like learning a new language.
Anyway, today I love the still life, usually florals. At the same time, I have been drawn to the city streets, so I will be painting both these 30 days. 
This painting is now availabble at the link below:
