The pop bottles are a glorification of the colors only pop drinks have! It reminds me of growing up and running to the store to get my favorite pop. My favorite wasn’t a fruit as much as a color I preferred! I haven’t had pop un decades but your painting makes my mouth water. Orange Crush! Those were the days! I can practically taste it and feel the fizz exploding in my mouth and sometimes, if it was pre-shaken, it would invade my nose. Of course my eyes would water from the sting. What a memory!
You have a great capacity for making your viewers identify in just that way with your paintings. You paint the paintings and the viewer ads the story, even if it’s to make one up. That’s quite a gift you have.
Your tree trunks on various canvases are beginning to look Quite real. It’s not just the trees, it’s the highly developed way you depict bark. Sometimes it looks like the real thing. I love your mushrooms growing along a gap in a tree trunk. It’s a wonderful depiction of a little corner of the woods.
Your “Window framed” is quite compelling for all the right reasons. The colors are fantastic and so is the composition with the way you “frame” it. Your depiction of direct light casting shadows that dapples the wall of the building gives the painting a wonderful feel of the effects of sunlight causing light and dark splotches on the wall. Then you repeat the trees in the reflection in the windows and show us the dark side of the trees in the shade. It’s beautiful! I love the way you render light on your objects and show that light is a direct relationship when it shines on an object and an indirect relationship when it casts objects into the shadows. All by capitalizing on reflections of the light and darkness. I hope this makes sense.
Your bananas are great with all their imperfections included. It’s a fun painting!
