Canette broyée I (Crushed can I)


Acrylics on canvas
56cm x 40.5cm
Starting more serious things now, this was an idea at the back of my mind for a while now. I've had to hunt on the internet for a picture and I found one on Flickr again. The black background contributes really well to the overall effect and the can stands out quite well. The label might lack something to "anchor" it to the can though but it has proven a very good exercise. The new artist's quality brushes are amazing, I can tell the difference from previous paintings.
Yes I know, it's very pop-art / Warhol alike, but that's definitely what I like to do...
