Commissioned as an anniversary
gift for Mr. Taylor.
A composite done from several of the photos I was able
to take while Ms. Taylor spirited her husband off for a winter vacation
in the tropics.
She said to 'just go down to the pharmacy and take all the photos you
want'.
I said 'no way am I going to pop into a pharmacy in this county and just
start snapping photos! Who is my contact person? I don't want
to get to know your local sheriff.'
I loved doing this interior. I don't think I'd
done an interior since art school when I would crawl into the work area
of a local laundry and draw all the machinery and clothing racks.
All the little packages contesting with one another's
commercial advertising loudly shouting out "pick me". I
completely steered clear of all labels. I was more interested in
the layout of the space, the strict perspective and all those little
bottles. I did senior portfolio course of 21 drawings of glass
bottles executed in differing projection systems. Even so I was
most delighted in adequately rendering the fluorescent lighting.
The smaller watercolor of the exterior was a freebie
just to complete the ensemble. It's Sunday - this pharmacy is
closed thus no human activity.
