A New Still Life


A New Still Life

 I borrowed the idea for this still life from a couple of other artists, had a lot
of fun completing the piece in pastel.


"Gulliver's Travels" was always one of my favorite stories, and trying to do a
painting of it, tied down as Gulliver was when he awoke in Lilliput, was a challenge.
A lot of concentration was involved with the ropes, making sure they went where they were
supposed to, and making sure the lighting stayed consistent.

The painting is 24" tall x 18" wide and was done to show a friend what a painting of this size
would look like if she decided to have one of her vintage Nancy Drew book covers redone.
