During the past several visits to my dentist, Dr. Antony DeSantis, I have admired this lovely vase. Recently, I shot several photographs. To set up the still life model I used what I call the proxy method. I used a vase of similar height and surrounded it with the smaller vase, book, and the two tea lights. I then mounted a photo of the vase to be painted on my easel. Obviously, rather than painting the vase in the model, I painted the vase in the photo. Using this method, I was able to get the light right, and I believe the overall outcome was good. Thank you, Antony and Melissa, for helping make this painting happen. You are the best dental couple in all of New York! During the past several visits to my dentist, Dr. Antony DeSantis, I have admired this lovely vase. Recently, I shot several photographs.
