Next Class: 8 Jan. 2011 Ignoring Perspective

22x10 watercolor still life painted in April '09 after reading Shirley Trevena's books/video. I drew this from life and imagination ignoring perspective and fracturing shapes, colors, lines and values in a unique tablescape.
For my next Big Spring workshop we will be studying this method of painting to create new and unusual designs. Email me to sign up for this January 2011 class. This painting was SOLD at its first show.

Silverware or Whose Turn is it to Empty the Dishwasher?

7.25 x 11 inches mixed media on matboard covered with gesso, toilet seat tissue covers, newsprint. Watercolor, colored pencil, Caran D'Ache, India ink, black fine tip Sharpie were media used. I like how the gesso gives an impression of dishes back behind the silverware. Newsprint included words about food; this piece was entered into a weekend competition on WetCanvas online.
