Artwork Description

I paid a dollar extra just to study the potato packaging - and decided it deserved a painting! A playful, slightly absurd take on everyday objects, this piece captures the humour of the mundane.
It's one half of a diptych; the companion continues the visual joke. Collectors curious about the full pair are welcome to contact me to view or purchase the matching work.
