Remembering Gerry

Oil on canvas: this is a representation of my Father's shop. He kept everything and I painted this before we moved a thing after he died. I used colour temperature, shape making and perspective to challenge the viewer to find "stuff"; a shop vice, WD 40, a Tim Hortons coffee can. There is a blue triangle of three objects in the middle surrounded by a larger red triangle of three objects: sign posts in the clutter. A single fluorescent light source illuminates all but the back wall which is painted in cool colours to push that wall back.
