ABUNDANCE OF HOPE


(Click on image to enlarge)

I envisioned this painting one evening when I was emptying my pockets. The next day I took some reference photos to see what the composition would look like. I added a few things to the painting that weren't in the reference photos including the faux crochet table cloth.

I put about 12 hours into the painting including a lot time making black squares. I like the 3 dimensional nature of the objects and am happy with how the foil gum wrappers turned out; but I think the keys get lost in the crochet.
