Black Cat on The Windowsill

Black Cat on The Windowsill
 
Although this painting has already been sold, I was looking out this very same window the other day, when I began to think about the creative process involved in my paintings. It is rather like a function... Input output. Information gets "inputted" through my vision, it is then processed in my mind and outputted into a painting. This painting and the photograph it is based on, is a good example of what goes on in my mind during the "processing." As one can see, the image (in this case the photograph) has been almost completely changed. I added colors and patterns that do not exist in real life. It is said that the use of bright colors means that a person is happy. Hence, even though I would label this painting as a still life with a cat, in reality all of my paintings should be labeled "expressionism."
