Deadlines approaching and I've not been as productive as I should have been. But I did manage to get this ready to enter the Baltimore Watercolor Society Mid-Atlantic. I started it just before Christer & Jessica's wedding in October and then there were a few holidays in between. While doing it I kept hearing tidbits from Judy Morris' workshop and was "haunted" by what she called "ghosts". These are little spots in the paintings where lines might stop incomplete/unconnected or not line up. This probably happens in my paintings because I tend to work on an area then move on and then come back again, perhaps not completing the second area before moving on to a third. I really think this is one of the secrets that make the difference between a good painting and a great painting; a completed painting. More learning done on this one.Link
Janet this is fantastic, the colors and the shadows are perfect. Absolutely love the dark background really makes it pop!
ReplyDeleteLike Krista, I find this painting absolutely fantastic. It is so luminous and your colors are so transparent! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece, lots of detail, very interesting to look at.
ReplyDeleteHi Krista !
ReplyDeleteHi Christiane !
Hi Sam !
Thanks for looking in here! I wasn't sure anyone was reading this any more because I posted so much personal stuff, ie. weddings & vacation. Ha!
Thank you for the nice things said. I do like all the colors in Indians corn. One can get carried away. But I only used 6 on this one, predominately Quin Gold, my newest favorite and Windsor Purple with Aliz crimson & Antwerp Blue.
Thanks again.
Janet, if this isn't a winner in the competition the judges are crazy. You've outdone yourself.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is beautiful, a definite winner in my book, great work!
