| Garden Shed oil/canvas 14 x 11 x .5 |
This painting of our garden shed is, for better or worse, the image that greets me on an almost daily bases. In it are tools, pots and potting soil as well as remnants of dried and drying herbs and vines. It is moody. It is crooked.
I am satisfied with this painting, as far as painting from direct observation goes.
The peeled layers, the cracked glass and the rusty roof provide charm. This is where scraping and gouging into the work have a direct usefulness.
Don't forget to close the door. The chipmunks might get in.
