Yellow Chair oil on masonite 8x10 $75
In this one, I wanted to show two different views of the same object without changing the setup or the lighting. This meant that I needed to change my vantage point from a seated position to a standing one. Actually I had to stand on a wooden box and lean my easel toward the chair to get the image I wanted. When I was working on the top portion of the painting I was seated, comfortable, and relaxed, and the image was easy to render. The bottom portion, though, was a little unnerving since I thought at any moment I'd lean too far forward and accidentally topple the easel, my painting, and the chair. And this caused some hesitation and frustration in more than a few strokes. I think I'll do a few more like this since I like the somewhat abstracted read from farther away.
