GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!


This bowl makes me so happy...I found it in a Thrift store and snatched it right up. The spoon is part of a set of Bakelite handled spoons from probably the 1930s. The fact is yellow is an incredibly difficult color for me to work with and so I welcomed the challenge.

I love thrift store finds! You did a nice job with these yellows. I like how it shows up also in the shadows and reflections.

Thanks, Becky Joy! Not sure why yellow is such a tricky color for me to work with.

I agree that yellow can be hard to paint but you did a great job. Love the spoon too.

Marie, thank you for your comment...even though yellow is such a difficult color for me to paint it does make for a happy painting!

Kelley, thanks...why on earth is yellow such a tricky color to paint? At least it is for me.

Mary thanks for stopping by. I love anything Bakelite...when you love something it makes it easier to paint. This set of silverware was a gift several years ago and I haven't seen many full sets.

Oh Bakelite, now I'm aging myself for knowing what it is right, lol... I think you handled the yellows great Linda. I like your choice of turquoised shadows as well.

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
