Finally finished my first truly original oil painting. By that I mean I didn't do it from a picture, I set up the still life myself. Well, I did have to consult some pictures of forsythia on the internet. The only thing available to paint from life around here is snow and bare trees. I also don't want to paint en plein air in 18 degree weather. The next thing I want to do is a painting to go in my booth. My table covers are purple so maybe lilacs and silver jewelry?
That looks wonderful. The vase almost looks 3D to me. Super.
ReplyDeleteyour job is wonderful!I mean both,the painting and the jewelry making!I admire you too much!!!!
ReplyDeleteNancy, I'm so impressed with your painting. Especially the detail on the vase! Light reflection on shiny objects can be hard to capture, but you absolutely nailed it -- at first glance, I thought it was a photograph.

Nancy, This is beautiful! I love the setting and the colors have so much depth. The one dropped petal adds interest. The forsythia are a gorgeous hope of spring. The way you captured the bunny and the shadow of the vase is incredible. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue and yellow. If you haven't thought about selling your paintings, you definitely should. This is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou are very talented! Your painting is beautiful. I especially love the vase and the glow that emanates from it. What a lovely tribute to the humble, beautiful Forsythia! I love your jewelry designs as well.

The painting is wonderful. The shading and highlights on the vase are impressive. I can't believe that is your first oil painting. Keep up the good work.
