WIllard Dixon Still Life
'Ark'
Oil on canvas
49in (124cm) w 14in (36cm)

Provenance: Hackett Freedman Gallery SF

I have painted more landscapes during my career than I have still-lifes or portraits. I have also painted a number of large-scale landscape commissions, including one for the California Supreme Court and one for the Oakland Museum.
I am currently working on a series of intimately scaled still-lifes involving groupings of small objects against a relatively neutral background. When I work in this way I sometimes feel that the resulting compositions reflect a musical sensibility.
