6x6 oil on panel
Not my usual style. I am experimenting, trying to catch the light in a more painterly fashion. For this I used lemon yellow, turquoise blue, quinacridone magenta and titanium white, not my usual palette. I had to dismantle the still life set-up to keep from over-working.
I found these dishes at a flea market, we had a similar set growing up. I wanted china like the neighbors. Years later I had a pottery business and made a set of stoneware dishes for my family. My daughter asked if we could have real dishes like a normal family. What goes around, comes around.
Love how you did all that reflected light, Sandra. Wow, and did you fit a lot into a 6x6" too!
ReplyDeleteI remember these! When I was a kid we had them. I think I was relieved as they didn't break...I was always dropping things! Anyway, I love the fact that you are painting vintage! The composition is great!
ReplyDeleteI really like this arrangement. It is good to push yourself with a different palette at times. This has worked for you :)
