Know, See, Feel




Still Life painting is rather interesting. Complimentary to Still Life Drawing... only colorfully strategic in the placement of brush strokes. In the four hours I was fully immersed into this artwork, I learned something about the order of things. Knowing; Insight into something is known as Knowledge, Educating, or Understanding, which then leads to having the ability to See. When you know what something is doing—how objects are interacting—you then have a heightened sense of Sight. When you see more clearly, you begin to Feel the Impact of it on a real level and can therefore Express it. I couldn't properly display the way these fruit interacted with each other and the cloth they sat on without fixing my attention on them and learning what it was they were doing with my eyes. Leaning into a vision wholeheartedly and thoughtfully helped me experience the shifting of colors the light gave off the fruit and onto the cloth while also allowing me to interact with the way they moved throughout my canvas.
