White Roses
8x6in oil on canvas panel SOLD
I wanted to have some fun today after working so hard on the
polk-dot vase yesterday. This little group of flowers did the trick.
I like the happy colors.
Artist Note.
When I have something light next to something dark
I always try to place a transition color/value to step
the values together. With white flowers, the shadow
area is important to achieve that, but so are the edges.
I do try leave a high contrast in the focal area...
don't always remember though!
Will show a little demo of transition value tomorrow.
Such a joyful painting. Love all the bright colors. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angela. Nice of you to visit.
ReplyDeleteOh Julie, This is stunning. Another winner! I hope you don't mind that I pinned it on my board "Other's paintings that I love"
ReplyDeleteHi Karla - mind? Absolutely not. It is an honor and I thank you.
DeleteI'm liking this fractured look, I'm not sure I understand the process. This is a beautiful painting Julie. Romantic.
ReplyDeleteHi L.W. I am a romantic by nature so I am glad it shows in my art.
DeletePleased you like the fracturing.
simply wonderful paintings!
ReplyDeleteThanks Myra. How are you managing to keep two great blogs going?
DeleteThis fracturing looks different a little bit. Have you used mostly palette knife? This it fabulous, anyway.
ReplyDeleteAnd this rhythm of red roses - delicious.
The reason it looks different is I was pushing the fracturing a little bit more. I am still discovering what works and what doesn't. I rather liked this but my paint was drier and harder to work with.
