Maypops is approximately 55x27", painted in acrylics on unfinished canvas. The background is a beautiful sky blue stained onto the canvas while the fluted glass bowl is formed with acrylic paint and Golden's extra heavy matte gel to force dimension and shift perspective. The green and white of the bowl mimics the glass I remember from my grandmothers' similar glass bowls. And Maypops, surely everyone knows what Maypops are - - those lovely seed balls from the passion flowers that bloomed in May. Some of the Maypops were green and firm, while others had turned all carmelly and golden and started shriveling. To the side is a chrystal vase with little Marguerites, remember those flowers? And a violet blue clematis. Everything is sitting on a wooden table, in tones of brown and red with a woody grain embedded in it.
