Oil on 5x7 hardboard.This is my contribution to this week's DPW Challenge.
The challenge issued by Cathleen Rehfeld is to "create a stack of something that is balanced, in many ways. Literally balancing things on top of other things, and balance in color, color compliments, neutrals and bright color, composition, negative/positive space, and then paint it!"
Ta Daaa...The Balanced Diet! Though I must admit, all the food groups stacked in sandwich fashion loses out in the appetite appeal...could it be the protein flipping around???

1 Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him—
I see it as a beautiful balance of shapes and colors! Loved today's quote as well, means a lot to me for my day.
ReplyDeleteJe ne sais pas si je mordrais spontanément dans votre sandwich mon cher Dean, mais il est certain que mon oeil lui se régale!
ReplyDeleteUne avalanche de couleurs et de formes... Le challenge est réussi!
Gros bisous.
What a wonderful contribution to the challenge. I'd call this one the most unique and entertaining of the lot - and there are some spectacular pieces there. Great work, Dean!

Not a fish fan but this reminds me of a sandwich worthy of Oscar the Grouch (Sesame Street)!! Well painted and definitely well-balanced, Dean!
