Doritos
9 in. x 12 in., acrylic and Doritos dust on canvas
$160 unframed
I like nacho cheese Doritos. A lot. There was a meeting in my department at work. A coworker brought a bag to the meeting. He laid a paper towel in front of me and poured out a pile onto it. I make a habit of painting at work during my lunch hour, and people have seen several of the food still life paintings I'm in the habit of working on, and someone at the table asked me if I was considering painting the pile of Doritos. Well, as soon as they mentioned it, I thought, why not? I've never painted Doritos before. I took a couple of reference photos and got to work. And yes, after being challenged by my coworker, there is fine, orange Doritos dust suspended in clear acrylic medium that I brushed into the shadows... truly mixed media!
