Vanitas Flower Still Life Study

Willem Van Aelst

At Seymour's Creative Legacy Art Studio we are proud to announce our participation in the year-long study of Willem Van Aelst's Vanitas Flower Still Life under the direction of David Jansen, MDA. We had our first "paint-in" on February 3rd, 2008. The pace was brisk, the information was flowing, but a good time was had by all. Below are some pictures from that monumental day:

Getting set up and the hearts are pounding!!
Jockeying for position!!
Ah!! Seat is secured, now we can relax.
I can do this. Painting the first layer is very do-able.
Orange in mass - isn't it eye-opening on a snowy winter day?
Class attempt at looking horrified at the orange color. Don't you think the two men on the end deserve
an academy award? Thanks, Pat and Paul, for your great acting skills.
