Messy Bedrooms
The bedroom in our house is an endless source of inspiration for me, given the chasing light and movement of sheets, laundry and objects from day to day and from morning to night. I remember the first days that I was drawn to it for painting, and how when my fiance returned home, he put some things away. I had to explain that he had just moved my “stillife.” Now I am not only used to it, I enjoy the changes, and have painted bedroom days on top of bedrooms days as a possibly truer way of painting the “reality” of the bedroom, and my life. When I paint these, I think of them as landscapes, looking at the sheets, pillows, window, laundry and other objects as if they were hills, mountains, sky or earth. The peek out the window provides a second dimension to the viewing experience, reminding me that I am inside after all.
