| (what this painting could look like framed) |
I finished this painting this morning . . . just in time for a winter pummeling! Ha! I must admit -- I got VERY frustrated with it, and actually started a new one yesterday afternoon. I'm not really a "flower" painter -- and have a LOT to learn. I don't know how Arena Shawn and Jacqueline Gnott and all you other flower painters do it. It's not easy. But I digress . . . I eventually decided to finish up the painting I had started. I'm going to give it a gloss finish that I think will suit it. I also wanted to show you what it could look like in a frame as I think it makes a huge difference. Anyway . . . that's all . . . and to all my blogging friends in the Northeast -- be safe and drink some cocoa.
Inmejorable enfoque y ni hablemos de la resolución de las flores contrastando con la luz.
ReplyDeleteEs una preciosidad, menudas manos las tuyas.
Mi enhorabuena por la obra y por tu blog, es estupendo.
Tomare nota, porque me encanta tu forma de trabajar.
Kara, I cannot sense any frustration from the beautiful painting! It is fresh as spring itself! I love the harmonic color scheme -- the soft yellows and greens, and wonder what color you have used to tone down the harshness often observed in tube yellows... It is such a lovely and tender painting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out but I think you paint flowers very well -- very different from my style and much more subtle and quiet, but so beautiful like all your still life paintings. Painting soft transitions can be very frustrating on Aquabord -- which may explain why you feel so frustrated about this painting in particular. I feel like that every time I paint on it, but I get encouraged every time I visit your page and see the amazing paintings you create on this surface.
I really love this one.
