The third painting of my recycled mashed metal cans. What caught my eye was the red-striped Barbasol can — something used by my husband every day. It contrasted with the Hy-Vee Refried Beans. The ribbed can patterns are interrupted by the top circular sections and reflect surrounding images. The bright colored labels are offset by all the warm and cool grays. Lately I’ve noticed more numerals and letters in my works — another interesting element!  I find some of the label combinations quite humorous.
