Green Brush Jug, Oil on canvas panel, #2 of the Life in the Studio series

Original Oil Painting | 9 x 12 Inches

For me as an artist, my painting is part of a daily practice of working in my studio. Over many years of painting, I've collected a large number of objects and things that I keep around me while I work. The Life in the Studio series is my ongoing documentation of painting these objects within my studio spaces.

I will often use these objects, like this jug, to explore deliberate color relationships and give myself compositional problems to solve.

Whether displayed in a kitchen, dining room, tea room, or studio, Green Brush Jug brings warmth, tranquility, and understated elegance to any space.

A professor of art for more than 28 years, Raynor balances teaching with an active studio practice rooted in direct observation. His paintings range from intimate still lifes and woodland scenes to luminous landscapes inspired by the American Southwest. Through series such as Cathedrals of Light and 100 Paintings in 100 Days, he explores the beauty of ordinary subjects and extraordinary places with expressive brushwork and a deep appreciation for light.
