Party Bouquet

Party Bouquet

18 x 24 inches

Oil on Wood Panel

This is a festive bouquet sitting on a table while everyone is getting ready for a party. Although the bouquet is colorful and joyful, it is only one ingredient for the party. This painting is painted with painting knives and brushes so there is a wide variety of textures. This painting has sold. Thank you for your interest.

This is a fun show. I have lots of artist friends who participate. Crowds were down this year, but it was pretty hot outdoors. Hoping this heat and drought lets up soon.

Mason Jar Floral with Yellow Ribbon

Mason Jar Floral with Yellow Ribbon

I was paging through a magazine and came upon a beautiful yellowish background. And thought, I have to do one of my Mason Jar series with this yellow background. Now my painting has lots of yellows in the background. I think it compliments the flowers in the bouquet. This top image is the completed painting. Even though the little statuette was had more grey in it, in the end the duck looks better with the yellow colors.

*(notes from the first post:I have finished this painting for now. I may go back into it once it dries and change a few things. I sort of like the tension between the duck statue and the Mason Jar bouquet. Maybe I will tone down the ducks colors to a softer yellow. Things to think about. )This painting will be for sale once it dries, for $300.00, contact me for shipping details.
