Original artwork description
A dried branch with seed pods of the honesty plant inspired this work. The autumn light through the studio windows illuminated the translucent pods, sparking a series of sketches and studies. I selected three small canvases that I had previously prepared with an imprimatura in primary colors.
This is no.2: on this red canvas, the window is opened and the sun blind suggested in simple stripes. As I painted the seed pods and refined the details, I kept pondering the plant’s curious names: in Dutch 'Judaspenning' — Judas’ coins, a symbol of betrayal — while in English simply Honesty.
Materials used:
oilpaints, acrylic underpainting on a canvas of rough linen
