Traditional fine art still life with contemporary flair; smoothly blended and brilliant color! Here, form contrasts with space. The solid objects are set on a flowing tapestry with cool, emptiness as a backdrop. This allows the viewer to feel a sense of identification with what is perceived as real, yet also allows a feeling of expansion beyond it. All this is done very subtly, the viewer thinks they are simply seeing a painting, without realizing images evoke emotions. The artist's job is to create emotions and provoke thought in the viewer, sometimes undetected...and the viewer thinks not of the artist, but only the entertainment value of the art. Thus the artist is successful.
