Cubanelle & Red Wine Vinegar
2010, Oil on Canvas, 14 x 18"
This painting was started in 2009 and completed in January of 2010 in my latest workshop with instructor, Jafang Lu.
The workshop concentrated on achieving the effects of light on
objects. During the course, we progressed from simple to more complex
subjects. For our last study, we were instructed to bring objects from
home and set up a composition that appealed to us. I wanted to convey
the process of making homemade infused vinegar, so I fill an old bottle
with red wine vinegar and placed a colorful cubanelle pepper on the
table beside it. The blue drapery serves as a colorful backdrop and
helps to guide the eye into the central subject matter.

Thanks to everyone who joined me at my first Open Studio held on December 5th, 2009. It was an intimate group of friends and acquaintances talking about art and life and eating, drinking, and laughing.
Inviting people into the space where I create my original works allows people to get a better sense of the history behind my paintings and have a more meaningful experience with the artist.
It was also a great time for attendees to purchase art for the upcoming holidays. In fact, the two paintings featured in this post were purchased for this very reason.
I plan on having at least two open studios in 2010, so if you would like to be notified, just sign up for my eNewsletter using the link below.
Best wishes to everyone for a Happy Holiday!

BoBo in Repose (Private Collection)
2009, Oil on Canvas on Board, 11 x 14"
(Signed upper left - Harding 09)
The willing subject in the painting above is my male cat BoBo. The painting was completed from a photo I took of him basking in the morning sun. Since pets don't sit still, I took a number of photos and selected the one that best represented his cattitude.
If you are interested in a portrait of your very own pet, please contact me for procedures and fees. Portraits start at $700 for an 11 x 14" painting like the one shown above.
