Schoen - Still Life

Katy Schoen

acrylic on board, 24"x 36"

       The objects I used for my still life are a crutch, a leg brace, two empty pills bottles, and an Ace wrap bandage. Each of these objects were connected to my knee surgery, which is what I tried to center my narrative on. I had no specific audience in mind, but those that were familiar with knee injuries seemed to identify the objects much sooner. I attempted to balance the still life on a diagonal line created mostly by the crutch. The still life was placed on a bed whose edges are marked by the darker purple corners. I have texture, but due to my flat style of painting, the depth of my still life can be improved upon.
