My still life meditations

These are my little still life meditations, small-scale and quickly done.

Apricots and Grapes

A little still life of fruit. I am very much thinking about how texture and metadata can portray light- the way light bounces and diffuses. As it diffuses it translates into a kind of noise or pixelation, much as the algorithms in Photoshop emulate these dynamics.

The Persian Vase

I painted this exquisite Persian vase with its emerald glaze and thought the purple plums and Chinese lanterns would compliment it nicely.

The Red Buddha

I have a collection of carved buddhas... this red one is fun to paint as it has this amazing lacquer patina that glistens.

The Offering

This is a painting that I made of a wooden chinese sculpture and an incense holder. I put a little smoke in to convey the notion of human activity.
