Timmy Hord’s art and musing

My goal is to continue to do as the title of this segment says and to enjoy every moment of every day.  Every artwork I produce is effected by this attitude and I am continually thinking of centering myself in gratitude before I choose an action for the moment.  I have finally photographed more of my paintings produced earlier this year.

I have 2 still lifes to show you today.  Both are 8×10’s painted with oils on canvas.   This one is titled, ‘A bowl of camiellas’ and was produced this past winter with cameillas picked from the bushes planted in the  front yard of my studio, and a beautiful crystal bowl I found in the kitchen there.  Turns out,  it’s owner had brought food in it for my birthday bash in December and when she came to paint that next Thursday evening, she recognised it so the beautiful bowl went home with its rightful owner. Good for me I was finished with the painting!

     This funky looking little painting began at a high school art show I was sharing my work with with this winter as well. Simply named, ‘Daffodil’s in a ceramic vase’,  I finished it in my studio and enjoyed playing with some styles I remembered from a book I have of still life paintings owned by The Phillips Collection in Washington, DC., that showed at the Mint Museum in Charlotte some years ago.   It has a playful feel to it, that I intended to stay with the viewer as a fun little artwork to enjoy.  Hope it works for you.  Of course, comments are welcomed.
