I love working larger than life and from my own photo references and imagination. I purchased these oil cans on Ebay and set up my own still life, along with taking many photographs of this display, as references for this composition. "Oil on Canvas" was a fun challenge for me, as the focal point and limited color palette strayed away from my norm and pushed me out of my comfort zone of my stylized portrayal of people and nature in a vivid, colorful manner. This piece is 100% pure colored pencil, no solvents used and hundreds hours of layering pencil in a dark to light fashion. I do work in acrylic and oil, but colored pencil is my medium of choice. As an active cp artist and member of national and international colored pencil organizations, the comical title and subject matter in this piece, is my playful and bold way to show others how colored pencil is an extraordinary medium to use. It can capture extreme detail and realism, just as oil does, which most don't typically perceive.
