Art with an Anthropomorphic Point of View

'Room Service'
by Karen Sloan

We painted our kitchen yellow, but not quite the shade of yellow here in this painting, but a sunny soft butter yellow. We do tend to have somewhat long dreary winters here in central Ontario and it's a cheerful colour that suggests sunshine. But that's from the point of view of an artist who happens to be a gardener, and not someone who hits the ski slopes as soon as the snow flies.

Anyhow, our yellow kitchen was the precursor to this painting, With a blank canvas, one can excercise a little more drama, which is to me, the best part of creating art.

Furniture tends to take an anthropomorphic point of view. I like to instill a little movement on the canvas.. suggesting perhaps that when you leave your house, those ordinary everyday items might just be taking advantage of your absence by turning on the stereo and amusing themselves in a life all their own. ; )
