I used to take a watercolor class with Deborah Ellis at the Art League School in Alexandria, VA. She believed in painting from life, and set up several fabulous still lifes for her students to choose from every week. As I switched to the opaque mediums, I don't get to see my favorite watercolor teacher any more regrettably. "Still Life with Anemones" that I painted in her class has been hanging in my kitchen for several years.
What I like about this painting is its abstract quality. The fluffy leaves and oval petals of the anemones break up the angularity of the vases and cloth folds, while light and dark tones criss-cross the picture plane. Today's entry is dedicated to Deborah Ellis, a fun, kind, and cerebral individual.
