Colorful Cast Shadows by Pamela Blaies

Daylilies in a Ball Jar

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

I painted this one pretty fast and loose and it was a lot of fun. I think I'm getting the hang of cast shadows from colored glass. I also like the scumbling effect I got with the highlights of the white napkin. It gives it nice texture and a feeling of energy.

Daylilies and Cobalt by Pamela Blaies

Daylilies in a Blue Bud Vase

6" x 6"

I had to cut these Daylilies, from my yard, pretty short for this little bud vase. But I really wanted to put them with cobalt blue for a striking combination. I put the light source behind the setup and down pretty low. It not only made the cobalt glass cast vivid shadows onto the white napkin, but also illuminated the top Daylily from behind which gave it an orange glow.

Brown Eggs by Pamela Blaies

Scrambled or Fried?

Here are some more brown eggs - I just love the colors I see when the light hits them. They warm up this painting full of cool blues and greens.

You Have to Know These Things When You're a King by Pamela Blaies

Farm Fresh

6" x 6"

Why are some eggs brown and some are white? Apparently, it's all about the chicken. Hens with white feathers and earlobes produce white eggs and those with red feathers and red earlobes produce brown shelled eggs. I didn't even know chickens had earlobes! My husband often uses this appropriate Monty Python quote, "You have to know theses things when you are a king."
