I just haven't been able to paint the material objects until now. I know loosely where I want to go, but I have to get my technical skills up. Such a helpful comment, thanks, also for sensing the direction.Jean Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548300464408866959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993243168234160587.post-25247370820299236282010-09-06T17:48:37.225-05:002010-09-06T17:48:37.225-05:00This little painting has a lot of nice things abou...This little painting has a lot of nice things about it. I especially like the soft reflective colors in the underside of the onion. And the white graphic letters on black tracking off to the right. I recently came across a Carol Marine post of a clove of garlic which she tried to paint with as few strokes as possible. I see you as a conceptual artist who happens to be working with material objects . . . and wonder if you can push that? Like painting the subjects loosely against a very graphic background which, I guess, could be tight or . . . What you're doing seems to yield a lot of possibilities and directions to pursue.Lorraine Shirkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289581724600276889noreply@blogger.com
