Autumn Table~ Demijohn & Suzani
Demijohn and Suzani, oil painting by Melody Phaneuf
~
The earnest, handmade beauty of this Turkish suzani inspired me to compose a painting around its design and color. It seems especially appealing at this time of year, when I yearn to see more of the color red and taste the sweetness of seasonal fruits.
The presence of the human hand is evident in the variety of objects in the arrangement. Hammered metal, thrown pottery and molded glass share the spirit of the embroidered suzani. Fruit & bread echo the color scheme, offering nourishment for body and soul.
