In her portrait titled “Max with Papaya,” it can be easily
seen what measures, artist and photographer, Susan Worsham took to create this
masterpiece. For instance, the striking inclusion of a papaya outside of its
native habitat, the kitchen. This papaya is only accented more by the yellow
string about the boys head and neck, as well as his vivid blue shorts.
Furthermore, the addition of the girl within this scene is neither distracting
nor overwhelming because Worsham took care to make sure that the girls wardrobe
as subtle and reminiscent of her and Max’s skin tones. Worsham acts both boldly and subtly to make
this image.
In her landscape titled “Pokeweed and Sasanqua,” it is hard
to see whether or not Worsham altered this reality at all before making this
shot. However, it is her attention to detail that makes it appear that way. No
one would know whether or branch in the foreground really only had reddish
green leaves or if there were only that type of blossom in the background. One needs a keen eye to discover that the
simplest inclusion of the edge of brown leaves in the top left-hand corner was
the single entity holding this piece together.
There is no sky in this picture, instead the sharp bush is boxed in by
the unfocused foreground and minimal depth towards the background. Although
it’s hard to really tell, this picture is a “made” picture indeed.
