Started this last night... just roughing it in, on the black canvas... Finished this morning.... now, that's dedication.. ha ha ! Seriously, those polka-dots will drive ya nuts !
This one was a doo-zie ! I worked almost the whole afternoon on it, with little breaks for peanut butter. Finished up this morning.... whew !
This painting has my 'big 3' favorites in it. It has hot pink, which I love, ranunculus, and polka-dots too... Yes, I actually DO have this many polka dotted fabrics to put in these paintings. You see, I love to make baby quilts, too, and have all sorts of wonderful fabrics for backgrounds, so there will be more to come, I'm sure. !
I really liked all the varieties of plants I found at my neighborhood nursery... (literally in my neighborhood, I could actually walk there...) Anyhoo, I decided to go a collection of paintings using them as my subjects. I especially like the look of the succulents.
I love the abstract quality of these plants. I love to see the assymmetrical-type of radial balance they exhibit. Something great about the grey-green color for me, too. The touch of red -the bowl- bring out the greens, polka-dots for pizzazz...
Here's another cute pair that Baby Gap sells. The polka dots break up the background a bit.
