Still Life


Here is a brand new piece taken from an old photograph of objects on a piano when I lived in Los Angeles in the 1980's. Some may recognise the shape of a Seth Thomas metronome filling the right hand third of the picture plane. The form on the left side is an oboe like instrument sold by a street vendor in Guatamala that I got as a gift from a friend who vacationed there. It had a pair of slivers from a plastic cup for reeds! The crystals were momentos from my job when I was a college student in Santa Barbara. Sorry if I've spoiled the mystery with regard to the objects in this painting, I gave this one to my lovely wife as a Valentines gift!

oil on canvas about 20 x 15
