Merry Christmas!

Now you know I like my clean white background, but it is Christmas, after all!

Brandi Deziel

Usually I am not too keen on photorealism, acrylics, or paintings from photos instead of still life, but I spotted Brandi Deziel (via my favorite food site, recipezaar, nonetheless) and I like something about her work. I think what makes it interesting to me is the layers of paint and the rich sensory characteristics and busyness of the subject matter: reflections, saturated color, shiny surfaces, varied textures.
