Silver Dish was painted using only a wedge-shaped tool which is normal for me.
This painting is done in oil and cold wax medium on cradled board. The sides have been fully painted and there is no need for a frame. It is wired and ready to hang.
The model for the dish was a covered silver dish that I inherited from my mom and which is used at family gatherings from time to time. There is some addition of metallic paint that in certain light gives this painting a bit of shimmer, enhancing the idea of the silver metal.
As with many of my paintings, I like to think Silver Dish has just a touch of whimsy about it and has imperfections that speak to the individuality of the family that sits around a dinner table and talks and laughs and shares themselves with one another, knowing they are loved in spite of their imperfections.
I predominately use oil paint mixed with cold wax, painted in multiple layers to create my paintings. I typically include lots of textures in my paintings. I use several tools in my painting, including squeegees, chop sticks, palette knives, corrugated cardboard and other mark making items. Often, I have no notion or plan of what the painting will be when I begin. I just let the painting decide the composition and when it is complete. Sometimes it takes months or longer.
