Some of my still life paintings are staged scenes featuring items I find at resale shops. These works are called the "Tchotchke Series". They can be tongue-in-cheek creations using the collectible with unlikely props, as in this wooden duck swimming on a soft fabric. I will name the painting a relatable, sometimes humorous title to garner a smile. This creation is gallery-wrapped with 2-inch sides, giving the appearance of a gift—a unique artistic present.
Found collectibles, once valued for their display decor, have brand-new legacies as artistic expressions on canvas.
