Marble Reflections8" x 10"Prismacolor Colored Pencils on Paper2005Sold

This photorealistic drawing depicts a variety of colorful marbles inside a glass tumbler. The marbles and tumbler were rendered in a tight photorealistic style. The shadow is done in a realistic yet slightly more expressive hand, conveying the fleeting and temporary nature of light and shadow. My conceptual interest in this piece lies in the contrast between the tactilely solid nature of the marbles and glass, juxtaposed against the soft and feathery forms of the shadows.
