“For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.” -Vincent van Gogh, 1853-1890
This is a small painting I did one Sunday afternoon back in 2007. It’s been sitting around my studio for almost two years now, getting shuffled about every time I finish a new piece. Every now and then I would see it peering out behind a larger piece as if it were saying, “hey, don’t forget to post me”. I remember that cold afternoon I painted it, vividly. It’s funny, whenever I create a new piece, I can remember that time when I see that piece again. The art process has always acted as my visual journal. I can look at a piece from years ago and it will stimulate memories of that time frame. I can remember what my kids were doing, what music was popular, etc. That Sunday, I sat this olive on my table and put a slanted light on it, then painted it. It was a fun couple of hours. Simple subject, simple design, simple execution. Enjoy!
Olive it!
Olive it, too!
