Still Life Landscapes
An art teacher in
college once told me, "If you can paint an apple, you can paint
anything." I took that as a challenge when I started to paint everyday
a few years
ago. What I thought to be a temporary exercise in fruit painting turned
into an
obsession. Simple still life paintings turned into worlds of their own
— each an
exploration in color, in the contrast of shadow and light and the
pathways leading
the viewer into the depths of the composition. Now this quest is
leading me
farther, towards a simplification of each item to its purest form.
