"Old Bottle of Bone Buttons" Original Oil Daily Painting Still Life by Ashley


 
I have collected old buttons most of my life and favor the buttons from the civil war era. Bone buttons were hand carved from 1850 to 1920's. The bottle is a small, very worn Borden's cream bottle. I love the way the the buttons reflect up on the inside of the old scratched glass.

"Antique Bottles Vines and Berries" Original Oil Daily Painting by Ashley

 
The apothecary and medicine bottles are from a old drugstore that had the lunch counter. It closed here years ago. I like to paint them in stark light  with living plants and natural elements found in the Forrest here.
