Painting - Oil On Canvas

Description

This painting was inspired by some everyday items in my kitchen. I love the way the stainless steel mixing bowl reflected on everything nearby and I love the color of oranges. The two together spoke to me one afternoon and the result was this oil painting on canvas. It is simple things like the shadows on the table top, the wrinkle of the cloth that capture my attention. A poem by one of my favorite poets, William Carlos Williams, entitled "This is Just to Say," expresses the simplicity of the experience. Although his poem is about plums, we share in the simple image of fresh fruit. Here are the words to his poem:

This is Just to Say
by William Carlos Williams
...........................................................................................................................
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
..................................................................................................................................
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
...................................................................................................................................
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
