OPEN
is the topic of today's Illustration Friday! I was very happy to see this theme, as I have quite a little thing about open boxes as characters in my still-life paintings. There is something so generous-looking about an open box, as well as it being (to me) of "architectural" interest!

Your paintings are as always gorgeous.
it's so inviting! gorgeous, indeed!
love the blue duckie
This is really so good!
Thanks for your comment. Had to tell you my husband actually worked with a Pandora, she was a harpist.
Your work is really lovely - a treat
Fantastico - Peace and quietude - *not easy * a winner
What a beautiful still life! Love the colors and composition.
nancy, is so- highly skill piece of art!- phew.. I wish someday I'll get into this stage...! love it :D
Beautiful lighting here. Your still lifes always take my breath away. I mean, who'd ever think of putting donuts and a rubber duck into a composition, yet you are a master at this by being able to see and paint the beauty in everything.
Wow...this is absolutely beautiful!
very nice and unique subject matter. like it a lot.
Beautiful painting. Perfect for 'open'.
Very beautiful, Nancy Bea. Your still lives are always very engaging, your choice of objects, colors and the wonderful use of light.
The visual rhyme of the duck and bread loaves makes such a wonderful setting, as does that beautiful red and blue/green texture.
I love the lighting and colors in this painting! It's absolutely beautiful!!
Mmmmm.. this is just so yummy looking. The open box, the loaves, the tone, texture, and warmth of the painting all work so well together. The mood you have created is one of those times when the light bathes an object in that perfect moment. And you have captured the moment to be revisited over and over again.
this is absolutely beautiful!
love it! =D
Thanks so much for you kind comments about my work. I have to say that your oil painting is amazing, I was never any good with oil paints and I'm still working on my watercolour technique.
Open boxes is a great idea, I have a thing for boxes too, they're just so useful and there's something satisfiying about opening a box to find what's inside and about hiding things within them. Boxes are a bit like books really, possible portals to new exciting things, or very old memories.
I hope you had a lovely weekend,
Mary
You are an amazing artist! Love the open box - it is so inviting!
your painting is beautiful...you have such a talent. I'm in awe of the ability to paint like you do...
Hi Nancy,
Oh, your paintings are most divine!
Open boxes do lend themselves to giving and generousity don't they?

Thanks for stopping by at my blog. Beautiful paintings here!
This is beautifully rendered. Great color and texture.
Amazing rich color---I love your work! Great theme interpretation also. yummy!
It makes me think there is something delicious and inviting in the box. So intriguing.
Fantastic painting - really interesting contrast between the muted colours and air of mystery - and the subject matter itself. The sort of painting that makes you think about it, and what's behind those open boxes - really starts to trigger off the imagination!
Your paintings are so amazing--so rich with details and smooth as silk.
wonderful..very nice light and color here...
good work!
very beautiful!!!
Yummy! You've done a great job of creating an overall richness in this piece that compliments the subject.
Oh Wow! I love your work! This is so beautiful and so fitting for the theme "open,"

Ah, just sublime. I know how much I love a painting, by how much I'd like to be a part of it. I want to sit in the beatiful lighting, with the little duck, open box, and fresh bread.
