The peppers were out for a stroll and all of a sudden this ominous yellow cup was there. Is it stalking them? This is the second painting of a series of four that I painted in response to Daily Paintworks Weekly Challenge.
Have you ever noticed how some people blend in and others.... well.... don't. Sometimes it is ok not to blend in. I think the cherry looks fabulous! thought I would take this opportunity to have a lost edge. Can you find it?
I started this series of small (6” x 6”, 6” x 8”, 5” x 7”) paintings in May 2009 as a daily practice and discipline in order to liberate my work by painting from life in a restricted amount of time. In carefully considering placement, shape and color, I strive to find the essence and beauty of common objects in a fast-paced world that is dominated by electronic gadgets and digital images. It is my hope that people will stop, look and see the dignity and soul of things that are often taken for granted.
Composition and lighting are key elements in the creative design process, allowing me to create a lively and often humorous narrative.
