Half Dozen

'Half Dozen' - 10" x 10" - oil on 1.5" gallery wrapped canvas

While taking the photos for this painting, I noticed that the closer I got to my subject without the macro setting turned on, the more everything not front and center blurred into the background. I have never before tried to paint something with an intentional blur; the human eye does that all on its own. However, in the photos the blurring made things seem so much more intimate and cozy. I figured this was as good a time as any to give intentional blurring a try. I kinda like how it turned out. Don't know that I'll ever make a habit of it, but it was fun.

'Half Dozen' was painted for a Coca-Cola corporate event taking place at Mason Murer Fine Art next month. It will be heading their way tomorrow. If you are interested in purchasing this painting, please contact them here.
