Douglas Newton





             Douglas Newton paints everyday objects: fruit, food, toys, and household items. His goal in each oil painting is to emphasize light, color, texture, and atmosphere. His series of candy wrappers experiment with the transparency of wrappers and how they show reflection among other objects. He graduated from Stanford University and currently resides in Brooklyn.
            I find his series on candy inspiring for my senior seminar project. I love how he paints the reflections and plays with the colors to show texture. The composition of each piece is very close up and cropped which I find appealing.
