The Fiesta paintings I have been promising are almost done. Here is a sneak peek at one of them. Note the quilt emerging from the pink-toned background. Some people like to see how a painting looks in progress. I thought it would be fun to show you how I sometimes tone the ground of the canvas or board pink. This pink color comes through the painting here and there and really gives a vibrancy.
I actually had toned this board for a landscape. Pink (red, really) on the color wheel is opposite to green, making it a complimentary color. When you do a landscape and use the pinkish tones underneath, it makes the colors on top "sing". Just for the heck of it I grabbed this pink toned board to do a still life. I am teaching only one student in one of my classes and so while she paints I paint alongside her. I set this up for a classroom situation but I liked it so much it drove me to paint it.
Coming in January: a purple circle vase, a green creamer, and a yellow art deco vase, all fiesta items. This painting is a little larger than my smallish EBay listings, as it is about an 8 x 10 (depending on where I end up with the final cut of the board).
You may always click on a painting to see it larger. Early interest? Email me linannemisja@gmail.com PayPal compatible.
