Still
Life with Lovebirds is an example of a painting that Ron Marlett
created in order to express his thoughts rather than to illustrates
objects. the large leaf, flower bud, and chocolate candy are
reminiscent of the romantic hart. The lovebirds are an ideal symbol
for the painting's sexual theme. The orange butterflies and honey
bees' flight path create a representation of Cupid's bow and arrow.
Fruits and vegetables are present for their romantic and phallic
symbolism. The artist used dark colors to evoke an emotional response
from the viewer. The dark colors also create an arena that allows the
light colored objects to balance the off-centered placement of the
perching lovebirds. The symbolism applied to the interesting objects in
the painting help create a compelling metaphor for sexual pleasure. You
