8 x 10 Oil on Canvas
Recently a lovely lady asked if I would compose a painting with these elements in the the following order of importance - A mailbox with her late father's name, roses, a rustic fence, a cardinal, a path and maybe a birdhouse! Since it was impossible to know what she was "seeing" in her mind's eye, a few pencil sketches were presented from which she chose this particular fence and an open mailbox...We decided the bird house was not needed and I tried to work in all her other elements plus a few glads for flower variety. She has now approved this composition and I like it too! Challenges such as this one keep studio days interesting! For her painting, the colors will probably be muted, but it was fun going bright and bold with this little one!
Wow, Rosemary! To me this is absolutely gorgeous. Maybe too because my dad's first name was Howard. I just love this!
ReplyDeleteShe will love this, Rosemary. Hope you don't mute the colors too much; It's such a cheerful painting as is.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful , like the reds and the complimenting pastel colours of the flowers.The blossom is very rich.And the little bird adding charm to the scene.
ReplyDeleteRosemary, this is just lovely. I hope you don't change it too much. :)
