20"x30" oil on canvas ••• Yep, it is another one of The Goddess' pencil sharpeners. This rather unique Japanese pencil sharpener resides in a centrally located glass cabinet from which the little blue devil has taunted me on a daily basis... for years.It is an odd duck and I just could not wrap my head around painting it. Then, as is often the case, one day I pilfered the thing from the house and did a mini painting of it. That mini came out well, so I did the larger version you see above. • There is something about pencil sharpeners that I am drawn to and I occasionally go out into the ether looking for interesting looking ones. (I know, it is a sad existence. To brutally misquote Phyllis Diller: "Hey, it's my lot in life. It's not a lot, but it's a life.")
This piece is currently on display in my show at the George Billis Gallery. Go check it out.
