3 Part Commission by Julie Riker

 Just finishing these 3 paintings which were all part of one commission project.
These are very site specific - for a hallway alongside the client's kitchen.  The two smaller still lifes will hang on one side of the wall in between doorways, and the larger, Sunflower painting will hang on the opposite wall.  The walls are a beautiful faux finish in rich salmon to raspberry shades, so I tried to incorporate strong visual pops of that color as well as mixing a bit of it into all my other color mixtures.
Today we go to the framer's and by the end of the week I will be hanging these on the client's wall - can't wait!

What a lovely idea, to make still lifes from the client's own home. They'll look fabulous in place! Such dynamic work. I love them!
