Onions and Garlic oil/canvas 11 x 14 x .5 |
We cook A LOT at our home. And so it follows that fruits and vegetables are always available and truly a visual banquet. I have always loved the richness of these paintings with a darkish background. And, if you have seen my work over along period of time, you will note that I do not like said subjects as a "mise en scene" scenario. ( no bowls, napkins, draperies, etc.) And so, these veggies have been thrust into a bit of a visual conundrum. They were observed on a lit tabletop but pushed almost into a vertical presentation of my liking. Vertigo, anyone? It works for me.
