Inkwell 1935 - 1942

Jessica Price painted this "Inkwell" using watercolor on paper, and it's like she's not just showing us an object, but also the light dancing on its surface. You can almost feel the brushstrokes, the way she must have tilted the paper, letting the colors mingle and flow. Imagine her, squinting, trying to capture that specific shade of green, that glint of light. Was she thinking about how ink used to stain fingers, the weight of words held within that little glass belly? The thin paint makes the inkwell almost seem to breathe on the page. It's not just about the inkwell itself, but about how she saw it, and how she wanted us to see it too. And that, my friends, is what painting is all about: seeing and sharing a way of seeing.
