Pike Place Market - T-Shirt!
8x6in oil on canvas panel $135. SOLD
Artist Note.
Continuing to explore with paint my
Pike Place Market experience.
This was fun to paint...
but difficult with the many
shapes and colors. T-shirts were
hanging all over the back
and staggered in different piles
on the counter - and not color
co-ordinated at all.
I had to decide
hanging all over the back
and staggered in different piles
on the counter - and not color
co-ordinated at all.
I had to decide
on a focal area, and make
everything subordinate to it.
It is too easy to paint everything
with every little detail when painting
from a photo like I did here,
but I wanted to capture how I
responded to the colors
and artificial lighting because
they were what had excited me.
Every time I got too precise I
closed my eyes and took myself back
and remembered the atmosphere...
then scraped off and redid.
Above, I show the vendor folding up a
shirt and he had the brown bag
already opened to place it in.
Efficient!

This is one I really liked.
