“Bottle, Urchin And Oil Can” 10x10

Oil On Hardboard 10x10 SOLD

This painting began as a happy accident. A few weeks ago I went to my favorite flea markets in Irvine CA. It is held the first Sunday of each month. I get there early and poke through every booth searching for something that inspires me. On this Sunday I found the bottle, the little oil can (I collect these) and the sea urchin shell. When I got home I unwrapped them and placed them on the kitchen counter. As soon as I saw them all together I realized that together they made a very pleasing arrangement. The texture of the shell against the smooth glass and the slightly discolored corroded metal of the oil can all worked in harmony.

It has been a while since I have been able to complete a small painting for my blog. For the last few months I have been hard at work on several large commission pieces. Now that they are completed I can turn to my small works again. I have missed doing them.

I have been collecting vintage tin toys for years and have amassed quit a collection. Many are spaced themed. I especially like ray guns. Came across this little wind-up bird a while ago. Stands about 4” tall. When you wind it up it hops and flaps its wings. Thought it was very cute and knew as soon as I saw it that I had to paint it.
