Jem Jr. 120 Brownie Box Camera

6"x4" oil on raymar panel • My painting obsession has brought on another addiction: Collecting old cameras. Somewhere upwards of 20 old cameras are sitting about my studio and domicile (notice the vagarious number, recognition of an exact number—probably closer to 30—might cause unwanted marital stress). Every now and then, I would paint pieces I called still life landscapes; setting up groups of items so that they were kind of like a landscape painting. Maybe a still life landscape of some of the cameras would be an interesting piece(?) and qualify my addiction. Did I just type "...qualify my addiction?" I meant to type "...produce a glorious piece of art." Beautiful enough to head off any possible intervention, so that I will still be allowed to access eBay.
