My cousin gifted me with a potted snake plant last birthday! The first pot yielded a family of more! I painted the Capiz Corner descendant last week. This week's family of snakes on the Summerdale side of my living room faces the TV & is located beside a boxy lampshade & is in front of a horizontal mirror. The see thru box plant holder on the right, is from an Antique shop in Andersonville, was a bar stool!The painting of Intimazzy Swiss Train ride, ( exhibited @ Epiphany Center Summer 2023), on the top left, complimented the composition. This interior art exercise is like painting plein air, a reminder to my future self, a visual diary. I am lost on the boxy lampshade on the right side. It felt like an alien visitor of the container garden, taking a selfie photo of the Snakes and the Pothos!
Another house interior. Have you ever done one looking out one of your windows?
ReplyDeleteI like this. The plants are definitely the stars in this world. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about the lamp on the right. It's just a bit player anyway and you don't need it to take focus from the main characters. It's a good shape in a good place for the composition and that's all it needs to be!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fine series, Susan. I once did a series of life size interiors throughout my place.
ReplyDeleteThe plants are very alive and dominate the scene. It is a plant portrait! Fairfield Porter has painted some wonderful interiors that just capture a moment in time like your painting does.
