Contemporary Crows

"Contemporary Crows"
10" x 11"
(what this painting could look like framed)

I just finished this one and posted it over at Daily Paintworks.  It's a little different for me, although still kind of similar to the painting, "Pumpkin Shadows" I did a while ago.  I liked the simplicity of the forms and the positive and negative shapes they created, not to mention the colors.  These are two cast iron crows (with very large feet to help them stand), that a student of mine decided to paint.  I couldn't resist the composition and had to butt in and give it a whirl.  (Thank you Tina!)  :)

Below is my progression in case you're interested -- and "Pumpkin Shadows."








"Pumpkin Shadows"
9.75" x 9.75" (image size)
This is presently matted and framed with this style frame
although the actual one is lighter, with a warmer  brown tone.
$150

Crows






I thought you'd like to see this work in progress.  One of my students brought these big-footed, cast iron crows to paint.  I think they're so cool -- such a fun project!  A little more contemporary, in that we're just keeping this simple -- all about the form and colors on white paper -- no background.  My student has begun hers on aquabord.  I'm excited to see how she likes the surface.  I'm sure she'll do a great job.  I'm feeling compelled to do a little study of one of these birds on the `bord as well.  

I'm also finishing up the tea with lemon.  I made a little progress yesterday, but not worth posting.  Also I started working again on an old painting that I posted a long time ago, so stay tuned.  How's that for a cliff-hanger?  Have a great weekend!
