There are many reasons to paint the still life which is why I think artists have been drawn to it for such a long time. Personally, I will sometimes paint them for the challenge of trying to depict a specific form, colour or sense of light. Sometimes I go back to them because I get tired of working with photos and I need to work from direct observation. What is fascinating however, is how these inanimate objects take on a life of their own and start to communicate their own raison d'être.
The opposing directions of these two little bottles made me think of an argument or a breakdown in communication. Funny how simple studio props start to personify the ideas that we are trying to express without intentionally starting out that way.
