Dogwood

Dogwood 8 x 8 by Dennis Crayon Oil on Panel
SOLD

I created this image of the branch from the neighbor’s dogwood last spring. With the promise of spring and warmer weather it seemed likes a great time to do the painting.

I have a red tablecloth with a floral design as the pattern, which is reflected of the actual flowers on the branch. I also want to contrast the dark red of the background with the white flowers. I enjoyed adding the green centers it helped pull the painting together.

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.

I am an active member of Washington, D.C.’s artistic community.
