Jeffrey Hayes Article about revising paintings

Most of the last 2 weeks was spent paying attention to some family issues, and then getting over an ugly cold (I don't get sick all that often, but when I do...). Though it didn't leave much time for work, when I did sit down at my easel, I worked on revising an earlier painting. ...

As I mentioned a few days ago, I've been painting some slightly larger pieces, so I thought I'd give a glimpse of what's in the works.This is actually a piece that I very nearly threw out. I started it about 6 months ago, completed the underpainting, and then decided I didn't like it. ...

I was drawn to this composition because of the way the 2 handles face off from each other - like actors in a silent little drama. I'm also fascinated by brilliantly lit transparent objects placed against a black background - it makes the highlights and reflections postively sing.

The very close cropping of this piece gives it a little bit of an abstract feel (which is in fact the point). What you're actually seeing is a glass creamer sitting inside a red ceramic spanish bowl, with a green pilsner glass in front. ...

Had I been born 150 years ago, I probably would have turned into a full-fledged Orientalist painter. As it is, nothing gets my creative juices flowing like objects with an exotic flair. The moment I saw this small chinese pipe, I knew I had to paint it.

This is the next painting from my Kaleidoscope series. I decided to challenge myself to push the realism a little further here, and spent some time working on the bubbles and deformities in the glass, as well as the knots on the oriental rug. ...

Although a lot of work is involved in a painting like this, I really enjoy the fact that this series allows me to produce work that has a more spontaneous, unstudied feel.For years, random groupings of ...

This painting represents a big step for me, one that I'm very excited to take.For some time, I've been taking a fairly standard approach to my still lifes; classically balanced compositions, clearly recognizable objects, unidirectional lighting, etc. ...
