SOLD - Tea and Stripes - This piece was born from more of a color standpoint than anything else. Focusing on something in the process of painting and making it the priority allows for the other issues to be open and more malleable.
A folded shirt and a tie was my first impression, very nice and warm ambiance in this painting, I think that you are getting what you were looking for.

ReplyDeleteYour still lifes are utterly uncompromising, complex in their simplicity. I feel slightly stunned looking at them!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors, great composition - I can't believe it's a teabag, it feels like something completely different.
ReplyDeleteThis is SUCH a handsome painting Dan! I love the rich colors of your palette. Big congrats on the top 20. I knew you'd make it!
