FOUND OBJECT STILL LIFE

Early Water Colour



This is the first major water colour utilizing found objects as subject matter.
These are objects that were in the artist's Cabinet of Curiosity. The painting took 72 hours to complete.
The bottles were from Jon-Erik's collection, and he had found these on various archeological digs with his father.
A corn cob smoking pipe which my father smoked and the wooden decoy I had found in the bottom of the Snye river while snorkeling. The wooden box was recovered in the mud of a local marsh.
