This wonderful object has been around as long as I been pursuing art and beauty as a way of life. There are so many memories, so many rolls of film, so many hours in the darkroom, so many different places… there is just so much history encompassed in this one object.
I love painting objects for this simple reason; each object brings with it no only a long and wonderful history of it's past, the people and the places it's touched, but also it's brimming with an invitation and with possibilities for the future. Not to mention that these objects are just stunningly beautiful within themselves, works of art which deserved to be noticed and cherished.
And I love to paint them much larger than life, in an effort to highlight how deserving they are of our attention, our notice and appreciation, our care and nurture. And whether the object is a simple screwdriver passed down through generations, the tree in our yard, or the person seated next to us, they are deserving of our notice and presence.
