But I also want it 3 dimensional, I want modeling. I want both! I will go to that site, didn't know there was one!

To ans...This painting seems quite successful to me! To answer your question, Matisse comes to mind, but I don't know if in the same way. Matisse, I think, was trying to flatten out the space, but that doesn't seem to be your aim. If you look at the Hermitage site, there are a few still-lifes and interiors that play with pattern. Diebenkorn may have played with the idea in his early work?Lorraine Shirkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289581724600276889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993243168234160587.post-42690486422433916582010-08-14T20:29:18.672-05:002010-08-14T20:29:18.672-05:00I can see you are also a 'more is more' pe...I can see you are also a 'more is more' person,thanks Çarrie.Jean Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548300464408866959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993243168234160587.post-25303751698841571362010-08-14T19:42:22.704-05:002010-08-14T19:42:22.704-05:00Very lovely plums!

I've been using fabrics in my still lifes (if it' multiple still lifes is it still lifes or still lives?). Anyway, I think it worked, red is my favorite color so I like the boldness. I think that a lot of one color can make a stronger statement.Carrie Waller Watercolorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950677994996699686noreply@blogger.com
