Oh maybe you know me by now….this is not your typical still life.
I bought a bunch of these chip clips, and when I’m not eating chips, I use them in my *studio for a multitude of tasks; everything from attaching mini panels to my easel, to grouping papers together. The plastic has a slight transparency which beckoned me to include it.
When I select a subject to paint it’s no surprise I want to delve in a little deeper. While investigating Dandelions, I tripped across an amazing site called fxcuisine. The author François-Xavier happened to write a beautiful article about Dandelion Syrup. I had never heard of such a thing, but thought it was worth sharing.
I hope you enjoy my painting as well as the fxcuisine site.
* I have dedicated clips which never leave the studio.

Title: “Blow Pop #1″
Medium: Oil on Panel
Dimensions: 7″x5″
Price: $125
This is not the “classic” tootsie pop - it is a blow pop. It’s filled with bubble gum instead of chocolate tootsie roll. A few key indicators to it’s identity are:
These pops were originally manufactured by The Charms Company but in 1988 was acquired by Tootsie Roll Industries. I guess they bought out their competition!

Yes; even a weed can be interesting. Where I grew up there were dandelions, but not like the ones where I live now. They used to be shorter and plumper. When you picked them a milky white substance would appear around the stem. You could eat the young leaves, and they would mature to a soft puffy symmetrical head with a white center. The ones now on the side of the road are long and lean, with scrappy small leaves. The pom pom (for lack of a better word) is much more interesting. The gray fluff is wilder, some pieces are matted together as if a wet animal tromped through the field disturbing there peacefulness. They also have hairs of red/gold that poke out and bend in multiple directions.

Title: “Special Occasion”

I still have the actual bag, tissue and box that I used for this still life. I thought it would be interesting to give a special gift in that bag and then have a painting to forever remind you of that special occasion! OK I guess I’m a romantic.

This is a contemporary still life. I intentionally set colorful walls around it so it would reflect some pretty wild colors in the metal. It’s purple, magenta and yellow ocher.
