'Brush, Paints and Picasso'

'Brush, Paints and Picasso'
10" x 12"
oil on board

Since posting the first stage of this painting I've been able to spend a further two sessions on it. The bulk of the work was completed on Tuesday and finishing off was done this morning. I will, as always, look again later (tomorrow) to decide whether it is finished or not. An important element in my still-life paintings are the abstract shapes within the composition. Abstract shapes become more obvious to the eye in a cropped composition.  Interesting spaces and shapes are created where the objects slice through the picture plane and off the canvas. Picasso is one of my heroes and the printed image that you can see in the book is 'The Weeping Woman' which is one of my favourite paintings by him.

    Lovely painting Ann. Surely that brush is a glue brush. Never the less, it is well drawn and painted. All the best Ann.

    Thanks Vic...yes you're right, technically it is a glue brush! But I love the shape of it and its red ferrule...and, it has been used for painting on more than one occasion in the past!
