Mirabeau Painting

This cubist painting tackles the merging of the word Mirabeau and a cubist still life. Mirabeau is another name of a Paris station. I took
on combining a wide range of objects such as a lamp, open book, newspaper, bottles, guitar, cards, a long smoking pipe and a purple cookie jar. I started this painting with the blue and green triangles on the perimeter of the composition. After laying down the blues and greens, I patiently added dots via the technique of stippling. I then worked on laying in the colors for the guitar. I then proceeded to add the letters starting with the M,I, and R. The first letter A is set with color aid paper pasted on black foam core board. The letter b is pasted on color aid paper. I then focused on the smaller elements such as the bottles, wood grain, and the open book. I could not resist but add the classic “Journal” newspaper title. I added the musical note as an afterthought. The emphasis of the book was to reference a children’s story that alludes to travel via the balloon.
