Food and Color

Choosing a subject that ALL are a fan of, such as food, was a very wise choice in my opinion. We, as humans are all intrigued by food because we simply need it to survive. I found this to be a very playful and entertaining piece. When I first look at food, I instantly label it and categorize it by it's specific color. I (along with many others, I'm sure of) mentally take notes such as "Red, like tomato. Purple, like a grape. Yellow, like a lemon. Etc.." The fact that you brought this into a creative art piece, attracts me to it even more. The angles and sizing of each image was very appealing as well. You did a fantastic job of capturing each single piece of food, and highlighting the specific texture each one holds.

I came across this piece by Gary Jackson, which was made with food coloring on canvas. Although it does not use actual objects of food like yours, I think it is capturing the important meaning and beauty that color brings to each food, like you are doing. You both do an awesome job of capturing life out of the simplicity of food and colors.
