cell mates

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.

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