Winter Blooms

Camellias in a Blue and White Jug.

The Brass Pot
The Fried Egg plant in my garden has burst into bloom, a sure sign that winter is fast approaching and the camellias will soon be ready to pose for still life painting. Camellias and gordonias (Fried Egg plant) both flower in early winter. At that time of year there is a general dearth of good flowers to paint, so that makes them a natural still life subject. I have a gordonia plant growing in a pot in my garden, it’s very convenient, I just bring the whole plant into the studio when I want to set up a still life painting.
