After my son was born, my production understandably slowed. Once I felt ready to resume a higher level of painting activity, I looked for a good way to get back in the flow and to sharpen my skills. A more traditional still-life would accomplish this.
To complicate things, this new piece was the first painting of a new series. This mandates a new element to be emphasized. The element, like sampling in the “NYC” series and depth w/o perspective in the “Deconstruction” series, must be transferable from still-lives to more pop-artish pieces.
After a long internal debating, I decide that the canvas would split and paint semi-identically on both sides. This repetitive element is flexible enough to would work with any type of painting.
The “Repetition” series.
Many of the same objects were used in this still-life, artichokes, pears, chicken bowl, but bamboo stalks and Chinese tea set were added in for something new to work on.
To be continued…
