Progress on the painting "Broken III"
Now you can see more of the elements included in this piece. Everything is broken...the Flow-Blue Bowl, the eggs, the Crayons, the cup, even the old quilt on which everything is placed. They all refer to the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi, which refers to how we appreciate beauty. Wabi means something like simplicity, and Sabi refers to the passage of time. The two words together is a concept that beauty is found in imperfect things in life. much of what I paint shows a reference to Wabi-Sabi.
