      This still life painting consists of a variety of objects:  weathered old books, old tin cans, a ceramic jar of spices, and curiously, a sculpture.  It is a bust of a woman with an elaborate crown on her head, with a cluster of grapes with leaves on the side of her head.  She must be the queen of some sort of abundance, no?

     Behind the female portrait is a golden marble base supporting a round wooden object, with lovely wood grain texture.  There are letters painted loosely on the old books.  What stories do they tell?

     Queen of the Shelf is a still-life painting, oil on primed wood panel.  The artwork is framed with distressed white wood, with a gold inner lining.  The art measures 40 x 60 cm (just under 16 x 24 inches) before the frame was added.  Lovely addition to your collection for a study or home office or living room.

     This was a joy to paint! Interesting to see what people put on their shelves.  This one has a statue bust of a queen, along with books and special containers. I am striving to make the painting look "realistic" but up close, more painterly. I hope you enjoy the textures in this close-up image of this still-life painting. Please contact the studio if you would like this artwork for your collection. Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm,
Kelly
