Hide And Seek

Hide And Seek 

Here again I am using a brick as a key player in the composition. None of these things have anything in common until a title is given. The lighting provides shadows that become objects themselves.

Waiting Just Around The Corner

Waiting Just Around The Corner

In most still life paintings you see objects on a table, shelf, window sill, desk, or some other domestic flat surface. Usually there is a tablecloth or the texture of the wood surface underneath the objects. 

I want to get away from this tradition by using bricks for the surface and background. You can't tell where the persimmon is because it is not on a table in a kitchen or on a shelf on a wall etc. The space is close up and intimate and the location is unknown. 

I like to use shadows as objects and as a way to lead the viewer to the center of interest. The shadows also create space  and form.

I grow persimmons in my garden and always have enough to paint and give away each year. I am very taken by their bright orange color contrasted with that matt purplish red-violet haze that happens as they get ripe.

Nothing In Common

Nothing In Common

I started collecting bricks to use in my still life paintings as an architectural interest and as a foundation to build a composition.
None of these objects have anything in common except basic design. Sometimes we get along with people we have nothing in common with, but there is a basic foundation that draws us together. In my still life work I want to express human interests and conditions through inanimate objects.

French Purse and Blue Gloves

French Purse and Blue Gloves

I found this purse in an antique store. I dates back to around 1940. I placed it on wallpaper and drapes a pair of blue gloves on the opened purse. During the 40's women wore gloves and their handbag usually matched their shoes.
