Fruit Loops

I am starting a new series investigating processed foods. The ingredients may start out as whole foods but then they are altered, subtracted from, added to, preserved, and colored, no longer being the wholesome foods they started out to be. The finished product is beautiful and the packaging draws you in and begs to be bought.

In this series I am not going to use the conventional tabletop, shelf or wall to paint my still life subjects. This painting takes place in a child’s lunchbox where a lot of processed food ends up. The Fruit Loops were beautiful and fun to paint. Do they bring back memories and feeling of nostalgia and childhood or do they make you want to read the label first?

Study Of A Banana

I painted this study using a 59-cent brush I bought at the hardware store. My goal was to paint soft edges.

Swiss Cheese and Cracker

This painting is on an 8” X 8” X 1.5” deep cradleboard. The edges are beveled and painted. I cut out the Swiss cheese and cracker shapes using gesso board and then painted the objects to look realistic. I made the cheese semi transparent by showing the faint design from the background and then glazing the yellow color over so the design can barely be seen. Then I glued the cheese on top of the background and the cracker on top of the cheese or a 3-D look.
