Composition with Danger
DESCRIPTION: This work is part of a series where my primary focus was on composition. Each object plays a part in the balance of the painting, but also each object contributes to the overall meaning. Humor and whimsy was important here. The dryness of compositional considerations is played off against kinky silliness.
MEDIUM: Watercolor on paper
SIZE: 13″ W x 14″ H (framed)
Add to Cart
DESCRIPTION: This painting came after a series In did on the 7 Deadly Sins. I saw how much consumes us, and the burden of material objects impacts our lives. I’m presenting the weight of consumerism here, though I wish to show this in a lighthearted, almost humorous painting.

Scene from a Marriage
ABOUT: The couple arrived for our session with their own ideas of how to pose, what props to use, and what they wanted to express about their relationship.
