About the Item
Inspired by our local produce. The subtle colors of the leeks and the textures of the onion skins prompted me to paint this. The glass bowl is there for contrast. Something man-made and glossy with reflections to compliment the natural forms of the vegetables.

Douglas Newton
Douglas Newton is a realist painter specializing in contemporary still life. He paints in oil on canvas and works directly from life, not using photographs. Douglas is noted for his colorful closeups of candy and their wrappers, capturing the reflections and transparency of the foils and cellophane. There is a pop-art influence in the paintings of candy. He also paints still lives of food, toys, dolls and anything else that is visually interesting and evokes memories. His paintings have the rich beauty of oil paint, instead of the dryness of photo realism. Douglas lives and works in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. His paintings can be seen by appointment there or on his website: douglasnewtonpaintings.com. His paintings have been in numerous one and group shows and are in many private collections.

Doug Newton’s hyper-real paintings observe reality, explore translucency, reflections and luminosity, and dazzle the viewer with all the ways light can transform our perceptions. His subject matter concentrates on still lives of food, toys, candy and household objects.

Mr. Newton resides in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, NY.
Dr. Sonia Coman writes in her essay, Doug Newton’s hard candy: the confection of painting
Doug Newton’s paintings are about… painting.
The hyperrealist technique of trompe l’oeil or “trick the eye” is knowingly playful. It simultaneously calls attention to the illusion of a different material—for example, translucent candy wrappers—and the reality of the layers of paint, masterfully applied to the canvas. In that, Newton’s paintings pay homage to an esteemed series of trompe l’oeil masters, from Inquisition-era Spanish painter Francisco de Zurbarán to Gilded-Age American painter William Michael Harnett...
