acrylic on board, 24"x 36"
The subjects that i used are all similar colors. I picked a scarf, a hat and a bowl of pumpkins. What i was trying to portray was a fall theme. which is why i picked colors that were all light brown, brown an orange. All colors that i feel are fall like.The still life was placed on my kitchen counter, i didn't want to paint my cabinets so i placed a brown board behind the objects.
My intended audience would be people who like neutral colors and who are drawn to fall like images. but really my audience does not really matter, my favorite season is fall so i guess i can say that i was the main audience. I feel that i did a balanced composition, all the objects are are well portioned to each other. there isn't anything that is too small to be in the piece. the way the i placed the objects i feel that your eye just flows over all the objects. i think that i used the space wisely. i could maybe further improve the composition of the scarf and give it more of a fluid flow to it. The hat has depth to it, the shadows give it the feel that it could be 3-D. The pumpkins might be a bit flat, i had a hard time matching the colors and making sure that they were different. the hat also has texture to it, the pattern on it looks like texture. the space has depth, the shadow behind the board makes it seem that the board is leaning and there for adding volume to the piece. the counter top makes it so that my objects are not just floating in space. also the scarf makes the objects more grounded. over all i feel that i captured volume, space, depth and texture with the objects that i picked.
