One of the interesting aspects of the paint can that originally struck my eye was the unique, rusted color it has. Ranging from brown to light orange with occassional green spots, it stands out great in brightly colored backdrops. I thought about a bright blue Dominos building, opposing the orange of the can according to the color wheel. Then while driving downtown, I stummbled upon a huge graffetti mural on a building, took the paint can out of my trunk and played around with the color palette the artist had used. Blurring the background of the second, I put more focus on the organce of the can so as to not lose it as the subject. The third is of the same backdrop, but from a different perspective that I thought brought an interesting set of oranges and greens that fit with the can.
