Back story:
Like someone’s portrait: “self portrait of someone i know”, this is someone’s room, a portrait of someone’s room, a landscape of a room, a painting of what makes up a room, what you see, including what you leave out.
If I did a portrait of your room, what would the reference photo be?
I had a reference photo for this one. I liked the light play on the wall. This probably started as another instance of me looking to figure out what to do with “background”. What’s particularly lovely about this piece to me, beyond the light casting: you can’t tell which is the open window pane and which is the shape that the light is casting from the actual window pane. The jade is an ACTUAL jade I have, painted intended for “real life” and actual and I do think the "end result” represents what that particular jade plant really looks like. The vase of purple flowers was an ACTUAL vase of fresh flowers I had at the time, too. Given to me for Valentines Day!
But the thing I love the most about this piece: the paintings on the wall that are the “background” are actual representations of paintings from this Series! Water Thy Self and a plant in a corner, I love this about this piece.
Check out Plant Portrait Series of February 2025 if you want more story on this piece. The references photos and any more story will be there.
Important note:
THIS PIECE DOES NOT COME FRAMED.
These pieces are SHOWN placed in a Basic Box Wood Frame which I love the aesthetic of for the simplicity and minimalist aesthetic. It COULD be a good choice for your frame and you will have the option to add it at checkout. But please note the piece DOES NOT COME FRAMED or in this frame. The picture is so you can see it in a setting but you will get to PYO frame for it! You can ADD THIS frame as an add on during check out.
