Good Morning everyone. Today's painting uses one of my wife's childhood teapots as the subject matter. I have suspended it in front of a quilt-like pattern. I, again, rely heavily on patterns to make my painting work. I repeat the curved shapes of the teapot and contrast it through the use of color. I add texture to contrast the smooth shapes of the pot itself. I like repetition but not to the point of each item being exactly the same. My patterns are not rigid and mechanical looking on purpose. It gives the piece a more human look. It appears more spontaneous. I like the adage "Variety is the spice of life." I hope that my use of variety adds interest to my patterns an in turn, to the overall success of my painting. Put a little spice in the pattern of your life. Have a great day.
