“Eighty-One
Pots”
All art
begins as an abstract.
From that
beginning, an artist can go in any direction in whatever style chosen. I tend
to dig in a little deeper and paint realistically.
For “Pot
#1”, I set up a still life using nine pots picked at random from our studio’s
vast array of junk.
After
completing the first “Pot”, I decided it was easier to move around a few pots
than to trouble myself with an entirely new set up.
And so it
went. Second, third, etc. I felt (along about the fifth) that a little more
family resemblance would improve the look. So I started revising. One, two,
etc.
It became a
mishmash, but I pushed on.
Being a
touch lazy, I figured that nine paintings (“Eighty-One Pots”) were all I could
endure. Besides, I liked the symmetry of that!
Finished, I
set up all the canvases against the wall and discovered that I didn’t create
nine realistic paintings… but one
abstract.
