A rare still-life from this artist! But a lot of fun as I explored this style of painting and tried to come up with my own interpretation of pieces I was viewing as I studied portraits of food preparatory to submitting pieces to the VAE Food Show last July.
I love the juxtaposition of shapes and colors in this painting. Not to mention the sensation of texture and dimension. Usually my work is formed through application of many layers of paint. Underneath the paint, there are layers of modeling paste and heavy gel, both of which hold shape and form and create the heavy texture and dimension offset by the layers of paint color.
