Making Ends Meet

Oil on two ceramic tiles

each tile 24x24mm

 $120

I initiallly painted the eraserhead and then thought I'd paint the other pointy end as well.  They could be displayed seperately or side by side or whatever.... I think it's called "interactive" art...

This is another one of those juxtapositions of scale that I am fond of. The pencil is in fact standing in a miniature plastic jug, presumably from a dollie's tea-set!

In spite of the fact that it's broken, this seems to be quite a valiant little pencil.

This was a commision. I am now offering to paint anyone a pencil with their name or initials scratched into it in the way that we did when we were kids. Great for gifts. Price is $100. Please email me if you're interested. On this one I made it look like the initials were done with ballpoint ink. The colour of blue ballpoint ink I discovered is: ultramarine blue and alizarian crimson plus a small touch of ivory black.

Well, I thought I'd better paint the other end. Now I can make more mistakes.

I just felt like painting another yellow pencil, this time just the eraser end. Good for rubbing out all your mistakes. On a whim I decided to sign my initials as though they were actually on the pencil.
