Still Life Painting 2
"Self Portrait with Apple"
Oil On Canvas with Objects
5' X 3'
In this painting I wanted to have a little fun. I wanted to create a still life as an anthropomorphic image of myself. The cup on the table has my name on it, the fruit (typical still life objects) that forms a male sexual organ. The paint and brushes illustrate the artist in me and the shoe on the table is one of my old shoes. The rug is sized and painted into. The 2 legs of the table actually have a pair of my old socks and shoes attached to them.
"Don't Cry Over Spilt Milk"
Oil On Canvas
5' X 3'
This is one of my earlier still life paintings. I wanted to explore the table imager and space around it. This painting is taking a theme from traditional still life of fruit on a table or bowl and the idea of fruit on a table cloth. I wanted an image of spilt milk but running onto the floor space. The entire painting is canvas.
"Nights Alone"
Oil On Canvas with Objects
4.5' X 3'
This also is one of my favorite pieces. This was a look at combining painted imagery with actual objects. There are both painted and real bottles of beer as well as painted images of pizza and real slice of pizza that I sealed with medium. I also included a real pizza box that I painted, simply a male look at nights alone.
