Starr
works over repainting areas of a picture she is working on, not
to improve the quality of the work but she is trying to show
exactly how she feels. All subjects and
emotions
are articulated
without exception in her
realism
art, which is truly her secret diary.
Starr is truthful and consistent. The meanings she attaches to
segments of her realism
art do not deviate from picture to picture.
When knowledge of the lures, mysteries and meanings found in her realist
paintings are understood, an elaborate consistent map exposes
the soul of a creative, complex artist. Starr finds this gratifying, not
an intrusion, but an inclusion into her beautiful world. She
states, “I feel we all have to guard who we tell our secrets
to, "the need to be understood".
This
realist painting is
more clear and precise than pervious paintings. The two people
under the tree represent Starr and her fantasy lover. The warm
crimson dress represents romantic conceptions. The ground is
covered with yellow daisies, which exemplifies romance. The
blanket is painted in warm red colors that are adorned with
flowers adding to the titillating moment. The black on the
dress represents her deep secrets desires. The white shirt
on her dream lover represents purity with purpose and self-discipline.
The tree is a strong sensual foundation for the branches and
leaves, which exemplifies the complex web of creative romance.
The foreground of this realist painting depicts the unknown certainty of dreams
not fulfilled.
