More on Edges

Blue Bowl (10 x 14)

This is my most recent painting a la M. Reid. The hard edges out in the light focus the viewer and the variation of the edge quality around the objects and the groups of objects  helps to create depth and dimension. Keeping lots of white in the composition makes for a light and airy feeling.
This is a very different treatment of background than is usual for me. The background objects are included and used to enhance the the lost and found nature of the edges of the foreground subject as well as keeping the whole picture plane interesting.
