Red & Blue Marbles 8 x 8

Red & Blue Marbles 8x8 by Dennis Crayon Oil on Panel

I love the glass spheres and the contrast between light and dark / gray and bright colors that marbles give. I bought these marbles on ebay it is very hard to find red cats eye marbles why I don’t know. But after buying the marbles I wanted to use just one red marble as the focal point and have the four blue marbles surround the red causing a circular motion around the main marble.

I need to give marbles a rest for a while this is the 4th painting I have done using marbles I am sure that sometime in the future I’ll be painting them again but right now they need to rest.

As a painter of still lifes, I work in oils on both canvas and panels, using color and position to convey Modernist composition with a classical painting technique. Each of my paintings features extreme attention to detail, especially the effect of light as it hits objects. I recognize the value of craft in my painting and continually work on my technique and style.
