Honey Jar Painting

I create my own surfaces out of wood panels and framing, hand-made from raw materials. Normally the wood is birch, walnut, or poplar, sometimes oak panels. The panel itself is 3/16" thin, and so are the sidewalls of the piece, built with a precision "box-kite" style completely smooth, deep to make it stand out from the wall, and ready to hang as-is. 3 coats sanded gesso prior to painting. Almost all of my works are from photographs, like this one. I found this subject particularly challenging because of the stark nature of the light and glass against a bokeh background, and also because of the representation of the wood in the honey dipper, to show the grain and look genuine. I believe I got what I went after here. Painted from June, 2018 until Nov. 3rd, 2019. On-again off-again, because of other projects taking over. But always returning to build more light and layers into this piece. By far a favorite.
