Ray Horner suggested painting his shirt, as he hung it up ever so artistically on the corner of a green louvered door in class. Personal items make for good subject matter and it’s an intimate way for an artist to put a part of his life and soul onto the canvas. So as I took on the challenge of painting all those fabric folds of Rays shirt, I started thinking about the many personal items of my own that I’ve been meaning to paint but just haven’t gotten around to. Hopefully I can keep up the momentum and continue on with some more personal still life’s.
