Tonight it's reflection rather than refraction, again. This time its' a couple of silver plated pieces from my shiny collection. Our kitchen is visible in the kettle.
I'll be painting "studies" in the coming weeks to test some ideas for larger paintings I plan to use for a show at Twinhouse in January 2007. Since I intend to use a square format for all of the paintings in that show, I felt the six by six size I've been using for my auctions would be a good platform to experiment with theme and composition.
oh! even better than the last coffee pots... if that's possible.
ReplyDeleteTruly amazing work!
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful! How come you didn't put yourself in the reflection?
ReplyDeleteThese studies are absolutely stunning! I will have to make a point to get by Twinhouse in January to see your larger pieces as well.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I want to walk into that little reflection...am looking for something in the scene like a little dog or a child peeking around the doorframe...
ReplyDeleteAs usual, your mastery of reflective surfaces astounds me. I feel as if I looked hard enough, I could see my face in there.
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody. I've painted that little fat kettle - I don't know how many times. I love that "fish eye" view of the world. I'm not sure exactly why I leave myself out, but I erase myself from the composition everytime.
ReplyDeleteOne can get lost in this piece. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteFantastic truely admirable
ReplyDeleteI think I have the same silver water jug:) bet i couldn't paint it like that though
