Another new piece for Susan Powell Fine Art. I began the initial block-in for this painting at the demonstration I did a few weeks ago. This piece has come a long way since that night. Lot's of refining.
Usually apples in a still life present a benign image, but I can't say that about this painting. The "personality" of the knife is anything BUT benign. This is not one I would hang in a cheery kitchen. Maybe an edgy one! If you do a series, perhaps the next one has an apple with a narrow white crisp slice out of it - wounded. Intense and beautiful work.
Beau travail Michael, i like that !

ReplyDeleteIntense and beautiful work.
you certainly have mastered the "refining" process...beautiful
ReplyDeleteI am envious these apples speak to me..
ReplyDeleteThat knife is just so good. It lifts the apples way above mundane. Wonderful work.
