Red Tin Can


6 x 6 inches, oil on panel

This is inspired by a DPW challenge to do an image incorporating polka dots. I have a few other paintings in the works that I have been stuck on lately so it was nice to put them aside and try this one. My favorite part is the bright red above the shadow of the shell.  My kids wanted to title it 'Mutant Snail' because the shell is unusually large in comparison to the ones we often find around our house.

  1. This looks like a circus, so bright and colorful and interesting.
    The shell is beautiful, and the can reminds me of a cake. ;-)

    1. I can see how it looks like a circus---that's great, I would never myself have thought of it in that way! I love your comments, thank you so much.
