Impressionistic still life painting with orange chrysanthemums in vase - Oil painting on hardboard - By Belgian artist Pieter Ringoot. (1921-2011)
A still life is an artistic composition of motionless or lifeless objects that have been carefully lit. Painting a still life allows a painter to concentrate on the composition and on the use of colour and tonal value, the flowing distinction in colour nuances between the lightest and darkest lot.
As an academic painter, Pieter produced dozens of still lifes. To create the works, he used various substrates such as canvas, hardboard, cardboard or other materials that happened to be available. He usually painted with oil or watercolour.
As Pieter's grandson, I have photographed many of my grandfather's works in high resolution, (and sometimes digitally restored) for all to enjoy. Some of the photographed works are available, as prints on various materials, through this site. Would you like to see more of Pieter's work? Then take a look at the Gallery Ringoot website.
