Paper Bags on Black
Featherweight
First Born
All images Linda Shobe
I'm so excited to share this talented artist's work with you. After a fifteen year hiatus, Linda has decided to get back to into painting, & I for one is so happy she has! To quote her own words:
"I find myself drawn to the most humble and mundane objects - things that typically go unnoticed & unworthy of a second thought. In doing so, I try to elevate the significance of pedestrian items with dramatic light & shadows reminiscent of the chiariscuro effect captured by the masters. One will also discover tongue-in-cheek wit in some compositions."
As I dislike birds being caged, I find the first photo particularly poignant, but at the same time uplifting & very beautiful. I hope this post will evoke responses from everyone, I'm so interested to hear your thoughts on Linda's work.
