Grandmother With Knives
2007
Oil on Canvas
24"x18"



My grandfather collected knives and hung them behind the couch in their home. He's passed away now but I thought the juxtaposition of my grandmother with the violent imagery of knives would be an interesting contrast.

Wow.
I really like the perspective :D Your use of color on the skin is wonderfull.

I allways find it a bit hard to get a pushed perspective and such to look "real" in that sence ( i'm horrible at describing. >_> writing in english doesn't really help either :P hope you understood what I ment )

hahahha...aww man. what great humor...grandma and knives. classic!

and once again your style of painting is always just magnificent! the colors you use are amazing...and well hmm yeah this kinda reminds me of some of lucian freud's work in the way you aply the paint and separate each blot of color.

must say that her hands have to be my favorite part.

well done! :clap:
