Prompt: inspired by Michael Fitts, create a work of art that uses an everyday object from your home as the main subject (such as a cooking utensil or something in your fridge).

Michael Fitts (SSG exhibiting artist April-May 2019) works in the trompe l’oeil tradition, painting his subjects on reclaimed metal. Fitts’ paintings focus on familiar and transitory items such as packages of food, old spoons, alarm clocks, and childhood toys. The work explores a tradition of transforming everyday objects into a work of art. Read more about Michael Fitts’ exhibition at Second Street Gallery HERE.
