"Symbolic Lines" was inspired by the beautiful light that comes through windows and the experience of witnessing it transform the things it falls upon into something magical. In this colorful still life a curvy wine bottle, oval bowl and gathering of ripe red apples are transformed by the light. Their undulating silhouettes connect in a medley of brilliant, saturated colors. Golden warm yellows, romantic ripe reds and salient earthy greens playfully add personality and style. The array of elliptical cast shadows in shades of violet, sky and indigo blue compliment the vibrant energy of the painting. The simple use of line emphasizes the forms creating a style that is unique and fresh with connections back to the expressionists and fauvist painters.
