Three Figs on a Box in a Cardboard Boxoil on canvas / 12 x 16" [deep frame]
This one started off as a painting of 3 figs. Simple enough, bit cliché but figs are figs, and deserve to be painted. Then I pulled out an old cardboard box, cut a few holes in the side, and shone a light in through the holes to create some nice shadows and lighting effects. If that didn't grab my attention enough, I was drawn to the old cardboard flap which I pushed in to hide some light, and before I knew what I was doing, I was painting Three Figs on a box, inside a cardboard box. One subject totally doesn't relate to the other, but it may just be where I am up to in my own life, that is ... "what you see is what you get".
