Ovanis' Studio

Even the most mundane subject can be instilled with a quiet beauty. This particular piece was created merely to understand the values inside a room...that is why I allowed a part of the outside to be included...giving a relationship of these close values.
This was painted years ago, when a friend of mine, Lynn Gertenbach, and I traveled to see Ovanis at his new studio in southern Idaho. This was not a "set up", merely something "just setting around."

Keeping with the spirit of things,
and recognizing the specialness of the "common"...

Also, I never list another artist's web site, but I am making an exception!

"TO THY OWN SELF BE TRUE"...
should be the basis of painting from your soul
(which has always been my philosophy,
more important than any sales, or any approval!)
...and to understand this, a friend of mine, Tom Clements,
has shared a great deal from his "soul"...
if you care to read some of his thoughts on the soul of painting,
please visit his web site:
