Painting by of Candle Light

While simultaneously painting black and white paintings of gas stations and sodium vapor illuminated flowers, I have started some paintings of candles and other more historical subjects (well photographing, but forthcoming).

Painters like Georges de La Tour (1593-1652), from the Duchy of Lorraine—to be absorbed into France during his life time—and the Dutch still life painter Jan Davidszoon de Heem (1606-1684), have been instrumental in directing these paintings, as well as the unavoidable Oeuvres of Gerhard Richter’s.

These paintings are still very much in progress.
