Nail clippers are not something most artists use as a subject matter. That's part of what made the artist want to paint them so much. Mostly she likes the way they look, the moving parts, lines from all the grooves and the shadow created. Their complete lack of color gives her the freedom to create a composition in color from her wildest imagination. Brilliant red, lavender, pink and green take over the canvas and bring it to life. This painting is meant to be hung where it can be seen and laughed about, a conversation piece.
