Yellow Creek Shortening, Zinnias

Original oil painting on deep profile wrapped canvas. I handcrafted the wood float-style frame.

This is an original still life of a vintage shortening tin filled with fresh cut zinnias. My mother's fondness for zinnias makes this a special subject for me. The vintage tin is a charming substitute for a vase. I love to paint vintage lettering and advertising, from any era.

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, Yellow Creek Shortening, Zinnias, the consecutive letters are Y and Z.
