A New Still Life, 2008Oil on canvas
18" x 24"
During the months of February and March, I've created a new series of pictures based on a collection of items that I experimented with in past pictures. I have a large red table in my studio and on top of that I place the images of the cane (which is a stand in for myself) and the botanical (Karen). What's new in this series is the introduction of a light source. Only after I made about 10 versions did I realize that the light is a symbol of the upcoming birth of my first child (Mara). I really find it funny that sometimes I only see what I'm doing after I've done it.
I made so many variations of this picture that I have not had time to properly title them and only came up with "A New Still Life" during the writing of this post. I fully expect to rename them in the future.
Below are 3 additional examples from this series.
