  My still life paintings are done in the "Old Master's" style, applying thin glazes over several months.  This builds up the color from underneath and the objects develop a mystical richness, not obtainable any other way.  The paintings also use "chiaroscuro" or light emitting from the darkness techniques to further enhance the light "melody" your eye follows and your mind "hears".
