Color it PINK!
Color it PINK!
6x6in oil on canvas panel $100.
Day 26 in the 30 in 30 Days Challenge
My personal goal for this challenge - to paint only
what I have never painted or thought of painting before.
Of course someone like me who loves a bit of color
would have a pink hair dryer. Right?
Actually, the story went like this... mine broke and
when I went looking for a replacement I read this one
gave part of the proceeds to Breast Cancer Research
That made it a no brainer. My reward has been the color
gives my spirits a lift every morning.
But did I EVER think of painting it until
this challenge - no way!

You make even the everyday mundane beautiful with your palette choices and your compositions. Gorgeous! I could see this hanging in a hairstylist's booth!

ReplyDeleteOh, I see why you said you liked my pink houses. I love this color pink too and it's impressive that you managed to do a such a nice painting of a blowdryer! (I don't believe in the breast cancer thing--searching for a cure when there already is one seems wrong to me. Sorry to mention it here, but it just drives me nuts.)
