Flower frog, Garden tool, Herbs

Original oil painting on deep profile canvas. I handcrafted the wood float-style frame using reclaimed oak slats used in local Finger Lakes wine production.

When there is more than one item in my still life paintings, I will often choose them by ensuring that the first letter of each is consecutive in the alphabet. For this painting, Flower frog, Garden tool, Herbs the consecutive letters are F, G and H.

This still life celebrates the simple pleasures of gardening and the beauty of well-loved tools. A vintage flower frog and a garden fork rest alongside freshly cut basil on a sun-dappled workbench, their textures and details brought to life with meticulous brushwork. The interplay of light and shadow captures the essence of a summer afternoon, evoking the quiet satisfaction of time spent tending the garden.
