Terrific Janis. I love the wood grain background and the strong light source. Very effective. Beautiful work.
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you so much JIm…I love the effect of strong light, and I admire Rembrandt’s use of light wherever he felt it was needed in his paintings, regardless of the so called “rules”..I’m enjoying my flight back to Still Life these days…

great effect of the firelight on the bowls….....the wood back looks so real….....
Janis Zroback replied
In my earlier incarnation as a decorative painter, I had to make many things look like real wood, from dry wall to MDF, so paper is a a snap as it’s a much smaller area…when you get time have a look at my stone and marble here on RB…
Glad you like this one….thanks so much KJ…
