About the Item

Realist artist Doug Newton says, Inspired by a doll and stuffed animals from my grown daughter's childhood. I enjoy painting the textures and patterns of the stuffed animals and the doll's face and clothing. The painting evokes memories of her childhood. The painting is oil on canvas which is best for capturing the subtleties of the textures, light and shadow."

Dr. Sonia Coman writes in her essay, Doug Newton’s hard candy: the confection of painting Doug Newton’s paintings are about… painting.

It simultaneously calls attention to the illusion of a different material—for example, translucent candy wrappers—and the reality of the layers of paint, masterfully applied to the canvas. In that, Newton’s paintings pay homage to an esteemed series of trompe l’oeil masters, from Inquisition-era Spanish painter Francisco de Zurbarán to Gilded-Age American painter William Michael Harnett...
