STILL LIFE PAINTINGS

By the 18th century, in many cases, the

religious and allegorical connotations of still life

paintings were dropped and kitchen table

paintings evolved into calculated depictions of

varied color and form, displaying everyday

foods.

During the Revolutionary times, American artists

trained abroad applied European styles to

American portrait painting and still life.

In America, French trompe l'oeil paintings also

flourished during this period. My work reflects a

bit of my favorite American still life painters,

namely William Michael Harnett, and John

Frederick Peto.
