Description
Sake
This is a colorful still life painting of a bottle of sake, two sweet peppers and two green olives with pimientos, a sake cup and, in the background, a scroll or wall hanging. The cup is part of a set depicting Japanese shunga or erotic art. If you look closely, you may discern an image in my loose interpretation of the woodblock print as portrayed on the tiny vessel. although, hopefully, it is subtle. These cups were brought back to me from Japan, by my husband. To view a similar set and learn a bit more about the art of Shunga, check out the blog link here https://japlanning.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/genuinely-japan/, which I conveniently found while searching to learn who the Japanese artist was. Unfortunately, I still don't have the answer to that. Anyway......
*****
This particular sake bottle is an invention of my imagination, and the marks on the label mean nothing, as far as I know. The scroll in the background says something along the lines of, "nakedly" or "directly", or so I am assured by a Japanese friend.
*****
I intended this painting to have a relaxed, loose feeling, both in composition and painting style, allowing drips, splashes and unsubtle brush strokes, leaving pencil marks visible and sometimes painting outside the lines. It might be an entertaining choice to hang in a restaurant or kitchen, or in a home with an Asian style decor. I had fun painting "Sake", and I hope you enjoy it.
