I visited our local grocery story recently on a mission to buy some fruits and vegetables to paint. I noticed this almost surrealistically-colored acorn squash. Perfect! Now that I've painted it. it looks almost fake. But this is truly what it looked like. I did the painting from a photo, hence the half on the right is slightly bigger--it was closer to the lens. If I had painted it plain aire, so to speak, I might have made them the same size.
My love of the arts began early on in life and was greatly influenced by an inspiring photography teacher in high school. I began teaching myself to paint in 2019 and have had my work exhibited in numerous shows in the Detroit area. One of the joys of being an artist is looking at the world in totally different ways and discovering a painting or photograph in a million unexpected places. For inquiries: dominmark@yahoo.com
