"Art is the only way to run away without leaving home."

I just love painting objects peeking through other objects. You can see all sorts of distortions including the colors through the multiple layers of overlapping objects. Look at that very cool blue reflection that appeared inside the rose colored glass from the taller glass behind.

Actually these gem toned glasses weren't glass at all, but rather made of plastic. They are more opaque than glass so, it was harder to see the softer muted reflections. However, cross my heart, they really were there. 

I painted this still life outside in full sunlight which made the colors and shadows bounce everywhere. Isn't it a happy painting? I should have named this one Mardi Gras. It looks like a parade with confetti floating in the air!


Thanks for viewing my work!

"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves 

at the same time."

— Thomas Merton

In this not-so-still life, painted in plein air, my heliophobic orb  tried his best to avoid the sun's scorching rays. He quickly ducked behind the glass and bucket, where he hung out all afternoon on the shady side of the table totally unaware of his transparent cover. By the end of the day, despite massive coatings of SPF 50, he suffered a brutal Sunkist ... just look at that rind! What a shame ... now he's sure to peel! Stay tuned as the saga continues.

Thank you for peaking in to view my painting and for listening to this juicy tale of woe!
