Grandma's China by Dennis Crayon

Grandma's China  8x10 by Dennis Crayon Oil on Canvas


In the beginning of the spring I finished two paintings that I sold thought Zoll Studios. One of the paintings was of 3 coffee cups that was part of my mother’s set of good china. The china is a family heirloom, which was handed down from my grandmother to my mother. It was in my house when I was growing up and was only used on special occasions. There was a china closet in the dinning room and it would always rattled when someone came down the stairs.

I wanted to get the gold high lights as strong as I possibly could.

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.
