"FIG & CRUST"
MEDIA
17" x 28" Oil on Canvas 2016
Impressionism
Private Collection
This oil on canvas stands as a reminder of the beautiful truth that is: there are no single pure colors in existence.
"All colors are derived from atmospheric tones, light, motion and state. This same rule stands true for our souls and life."
The overseeing cobalt blues contrastingly control this scene with both fresh outlines and reflections found upon the surface of the subject including the skin of the figs and olives. Multiple colors splashing from one subject as the apricot to the olives represents the beautiful relationship of everything in life finding its influencing upon another.
​
Also contrasting are the textures of the subject. Delicate skinned figs, crusty crackers, and salty dried meat work together as a symphony of the tactile senses.
