PHOTO EMULATION
Sandy MacDonald has always inspired me as an artist and individual. With her toy portraits, there always is a sense of humor and a large amount of character. She builds these toys into people in real situations. I look to create a similar understanding for emotion in my series.
Sandy MacDonald is an oil painter, focusing on toys, pets, and other subjects. She also is a muralist who works in offices, schools, and even homes. MacDonald beautifully brings these toys to life using a wide variety of colors and realistic value. She creates space with small shifts of color in negative spaces. Her comforting realistic pieces convey the character traits of the still objects in them. This character comes off as comedic, due to the title and action. Her work has influenced me and I have always looked up to her hard work and humor. It is not an important piece in art history, but its influence on people shows that humor in art is a successful route to take, even with realism.
