Chrome Retro Blender

This very different and almost abstract painting is a very close composition of a blender. The old blender with its chrome surface and very retro handle takes on an almost surreal and abstract design. I used all sorts of colors to develop this design.

Kitchen Art - Retro Blender

This painting takes me back to many years ago when this very retro blender was a common appliance in many American kitchens. I tried to capture the colors and design of the early 60's. The texture of the wall, the compositional angle and the warm tones are all meant to capture the feeling of this appliance in a this very retro painting.
