Includes beautiful, big, carved, black frame, exhibited in NY Show at PLEIADES Gallery 12/03 -1/04.  This painting received RAVE REVIEW in NY Art Magazine, comparing Taney's work to the great Fauvist Chaime Soutine.  (See new Artist's Bio, Update 2004, in this website.) A Still Life painted in the Old Masters' technique of first painting an underpainting in sepia tones, then laying in the color and opaque paint, leaving some areas transparent, some areas glazed, demonstrating the special problem of painting silver, and the wonderful aspects of painting silver in that it reflects many colors all around it.  Rebrandt often painted silver, gold, or metal objects (helmets, metal collars, chains, jewelry,) in portraits as the metal tends to assist the artist in making the flesh, by contrast to the hard, glistening metal, seem lifelike and soft.  A little gold painting of a man proposing marriage to a woman is on the Limoges Castel blue china cup and saucer from Limoges, France.
