I really like this idea of containing these objects for display. They're already being displayed on these small formats like specimens and the jars and glasses serve to further accentuate that idea. It's sort of like a zoo. Sold
N3S- 'Uhhh? Noooo! Not them in a jar!' (I have no idea what he emans by that. I can't stop thinking about the gras in a glass painting, are you going to do any more?)
I think the peppers look more vulnerable under the glass. Maybe your son is reacting to that. The wheat grass was a challenge to paint. I really liked the bright green contrasting with the dark dirt and background. I think I'll be returning to that subject.
I am an artist living in Northern California. In 1993 I graduated from
U.C. Davis where I took classes from Wayne Thiebaud, Dave Hollowell and Roy DeForest. I currently teach art at Chana High School in Auburn California. On this blog I have posted 1000 paintings in as many days. Lately I have not been as strict with my painting schedule although I still update this blog regularly. I want to do some larger paintings that may take me more than a day to complete. Unless marked otherwise, these paintings are for sale. Please direct all purchase enquiries to Elliot Fouts Gallery. If you are unsure about the availability of a painting, please don’t hesitate to email me.

I asked him again and he said 'They might feel squashed'. I am lingering with intent now; intent to buy myself a 'grassy' painting...
