Sketches and Story
One of my favorite artists is Paul Klee. One of my wife's
favorite famous people is Martha Stewart. One day I wondered what would
happen if Paul Klee had a "conversation" in watercolor with Martha Stewart.
I started by combining two of my sketches into one composition that offered
opportunities for playful use of color. I decided to search Martha's magazines
for ideas on color -- a color from a wall in one photo, a painted cabinet
from another, etc. Before I was too far along, I went grocery shopping.
The fresh asparagus captured my attention. The gradation from green to
purple was fantastic. I'd never noticed it before. After buying and bringing
the asparagus home I used it as color reference before my wife prepared
it. The resulting painting: When
Paul Met Martha.
