i feel sorry for the poor brussel sprout .. unless its a really small cabbage .. ;)
anyway jokes aside ... loving the alfred hitchcock feel here .. very scarey and suspenseful .. :)
The term "artsy" is often used pejoratively, and snidely, might I add, yet this is surely art. It's surreal, it's mysterious, it's dark and it's also playful. The shadows, in their granularity, are sumptuous. The damascened knife and halved Brussels sprout are a revelation of pattern and color. The shadowed hand passing over the knife ties the composition together. Just great.
The hand shadow, even with a missing finger, along with knife lay out the geometry. This is all a setup for a freshly halved brussel sprout. Having moved in closer, we pick up the detailed reflections on the knife. A pattern that has us going back and forth studying the similarities and differences. Nice.
LOL! Great colors and textures. I love these guys but prefer to buy them pre-sliced from Trader Joe's. At my age I'm happy to have TJ do some of the work for me.
lovely delivery of textures. these homely scenes are gold mines of transcendence for those who relate. (btw we are still eating these little guys from our garden).
