Here is the finished Pepsi Cap, same size as the Coke Cap below it, about 3-3/8" in diameter.
A few months ago I completed a small circular painting of a Coca-Cola bottle cap with beaded water on it's surface. I really liked the finished piece so I decided to paint another work to complement it. It would be the same size, background color and frame, except a different cap. I debated about painting another Coke cap, but ultimately settled on the Coke rival, Pepsi. The two cap brands are similar in age and I think it is an interesting juxtaposition to see these pieces displayed next to each other. I don't know if these two paintings will stay together, but I hope they do. Here is the finished Pepsi Cap, same size as the Coke Cap below it, about 3-3/8" in diameter.

It's been well over a month since my last blog post, but I am finally back to painting - now in my new studio. I recently moved to a new house and it took a couple of weeks to set this room up for my painting equipment. The entire house has hardwood flooring and this was the only room that had the original carpet. It took me about a week to install the hardwood into this new studio... work I hope I never have to do again. Despite the pain of the installation, I'm really satisfied with the results, and this will be a great space to work. There is more room than I know what to do with. I was even able to fit some guitar stuff and a massive desk in there. It also has 2 large northern facing windows incase I ever decide to work from natural light. With the studio complete, I need to complete 2 more paintings for my solo show at McCormick Gallery in March. I'll have 10 pieces total and it looks like the opening will be on the 11th. More info to come soon. |
