Bubble Wrap
(Painting # 11)

6" x 6"
oil on canvas panel
$175


A desire or a compulsion? I found a piece of bubble wrap under my workbench and shot a close up of it with my camera. I placed the wrap against a black background and moved the lights in close. This created a pattern that was very extreme in terms of values and abstraction. The patterns of the plastic allowed for a very fluid approach to painting, which was a lot of fun. I might make a larger version of this after 50/50.
