“Although through the years I had painted the same objects and the same cloths in different combinations, it had never seemed to me to be repetitive. It was characteristic of abstract painters to use the same elements of design over and over, exploring changes of color, and the resulting changes of space. It appeared that the variety in the work of any abstract artist had more to do with what I have called painting than it did with the image. This simplicity of form was never questioned in abstraction, and I accepted simplicity of form in paintingin still life.” Harriet Shorr, The Artist’s Eye: A Perceptual Way of Painting.

“A bright cloth throws color up into the darker surfaces of reflecting objects, creating hues that are subtle mixtures of the color of the object and the color of the cloth.”

“Certain subject matter posed a complicated technical challenge. If I was not satisfied with the way it had been represented, I painted it again. Such a subject was a string of Christmas lights. The first time I painted them I set them on a pale-colored ground. The lights were on, but the daylight was falling on the tablecloth, and although I painted the colors and values as faithfully as I could, I was not satisfied with the results. A year later I painted the same lights, this time in the late afternoon and on a dark purple ground. The result was much more satisfying and convincing.” Harriet Shorr, The Artist’s Eye: A Perceptual Way of Painting.
