A Navajo pottery piece, a vintage Vera Neumann scarf and a well-used knife came together for this still life. I loved the mix of patterns, shapes and materials, and the opportunity to bring these very different objects into one composition.
The color was what really drew me in. The vivid turquoise against the terracotta, rust and warm neutrals created a combination I couldn't resist exploring. I enjoyed playing with the decorative pattern of the scarf, the curves of the pottery and the strong lines of the knife, letting everything settle into its own rhythm.
For me, painting is always about those relationships between colors and shapes. Sometimes the most interesting combinations are found in the most unexpected places.
