Lemonade
8x6in oil on canvas panel SOLD
Mother's Day today and thinking of my own, wonderful mother
and although she is no longer here, the memories are as
clear and loving as ever.
Artist Note.
The incredible painter Abby Ryan came up with the the
Daily Paintworks Challenge this week. The Yellow Challenge
One day too late to put in my lemon slices from yesterday!!!!
Abby asks the question - what does yellow mean to you?
Easy - sunshine, happiness and feeling good.
This time I thought I would see what it was like to explore fracturing
with painting the lemons in water.
YELLOW
My palette was:
Titanium white
cad yellow light
Naples yellow
Indian yellow
Light red
viridian
Transparent brown oxide.
I put some yellow in every color I mixed.

Beautiful- and complex!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Taryn. Complex it is but I am working it out.
Deletehow beautiful and refreshing!
ReplyDeleteRefreshing - lemonade - good one! Thanks
DeleteI've been loving all your lemon paintings and they 'Last Cup..' is right they are so refreshing and tart! Lovely painterly approach.
ReplyDeleteAnother good one - refreshing and Tart. I am loving the fun. Thanks, Mary.
DeleteCongratulations on your DPW interview. I really enjoyed it.
Of course, you have been living in a country with a lot of lemons, I never saw so many in a glass!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful subject, very nice colours!
I am following in my mothers footsteps...she drank and used lemon for many different purposes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Sylviane. What country are you from?
Fabulous! Just the right amount of cool colour to offset the warm yellows.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna. I agree, it needed the touch of cool. You are so good a capturing that in your own work.
DeleteThis painting is mesmerizing and beautiful, perfecting composed! So much so I could not resist purchasing it. Yellow is my least favorite color, but via your technique of integrating and modulating it with other colors, I now appreciate yellow! Also, I am not a tea drinker. The bottom line--it is your skill as a painter that makes this SING. Via your lovely strokes--and due to every decision you made regarding the direction or your strokes and colors to "mix" for each stroke--you have created a gem of a masterpiece! Thank you for your willingness to part with it. I love it!
ReplyDeleteWell... I am certainly very honored and I thank you. I can tell from your comments that you know art because you are correct. Lots of decisions. It takes a long time to do the fracturing because I am still working on developing it.
DeleteI just hope you like it when you get it. The artists I teach all liked it today.
Thanks for the palette color list and tip on mixing.....very helpful. The color harmony is beautiful in this painting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. Nice of you to comment and I am pleased you found the info helpful.
DeleteWow. Wow, wow, wow. This is gorgeous on every level.
ReplyDeleteLove the wow, wow, wow. You paint dogs so well I will give you a bow, wow, wow, next time.
DeleteThanks!
