I wanted to see how much I could do with just two colors. This painting became a study of light moving across the different planes of a ceramic vase, changing the way we see its shape and surface.
The bright yellow banana creates a strong contrast against the violet background, while the spiderweb adds an unexpected graphic element. I enjoyed simplifying the palette and letting the shifts between light and shadow do the work.
I'm always interested in how color can create form, how a warm passage can sit against a cool one, and how a limited number of colors can offer so many possibilities.
