3 Oranges, 8 1/2 x 24 1/2 in., Acrylic on Board, 2008This is a quick still life I did a few weeks ago. I think I had extra paint and had only been working on collages-a still life was needed. I need to keep in touch with my technical skills. A fun thing about this piece is the board it is on. Marty, Zach and I went to IKEA a few weeks ago and I found amazing board in the junk section. I bought about 20 surfaces for under $5.00.
My favorite part of this painting the inclusion of the natural wood look. Instead of gessoing right over the wood I decided to use it as my background color. An exercise in allowing the materials to guide me.
