Green Pepper Oil 6x6The pepper is finally done. The original is in a somewhat sad state, wrinkled beyond description and looking for a use in a hot frying pan! I am not sure what drives still life painters. I personally think they must be slightly off kilter if you know what I mean. Anyone who would take beautiful flowers, fresh veggies and arrange them in a setting and paint them long after their beauty has gone must be weird. Me, I'd rather smell the flowers and eat the food. Use my imagination (which was in full force here!) to recreate the present and hopefully have it last for ever.
I guess I am an "in the moment " sort of character.
The re visit to the studio was long over due and felt like a glass of water after a journey through the desert. I think I will not deny myself the next time the urge to paint comes on!

Well said, Mrs. Fullerton, very well said indeed. You've proved once again, another good view on art.
ReplyDeleteI agree Bala, another good view at art.
ReplyDeleteJust a question though, trying not sounding impolite, but do you work at the NSAC in Nova Scotia?
No, I live in central Canada.
ReplyDeleteOh, ok. Thanks, I just know another person named Bala that works there, thought you might be him.
ReplyDeleteOk, I understand.
