Title
October Still Life
Description
A vividly colored grouping avoids any appearance of symmetry or regularity of shape—even a painted plate isn’t circular. Likewise, mottling seems part of Preachen’s design as if to demonstrate that beauty can be irregular. Reds and oranges dominate in the foreground, including what may be a castor oil plant, whereas a glass, its elevated pedastal, and the backdrop shift toward blues.
