Midnight Snack


Midnight Snack, oil on wood 5X5', 2007 $500

Midnight Snack was created for an assignment in my advanced painting class at Western Michigan University. The requirement for this assignment was to create a piece that had to do with food. I have always enjoyed painting people in a stylized manner and creating a theatrical scene. This piece for me is the beginning of a new style that I am going to be working in.
This piece obviously has to do with obesity and the food corporations that help create this problem. I wanted to create a scene that would draw the viewer in and give them lots of visuals to look at. Since my art has been described as theatrical, I like to put certain 'props' that help tell the story of the scene.
