Delicate Manners

Title: "Delicate Manners"
Medium: Acrylic on linen panel
Size: 8x8 inches
Genre: Still Life

Started this painting with my artist friend Eve Larson. She supplied the pansies, the vase, and the little gold dish off to the side, and I supplied the china teacup and saucer. It's great fun to paint with a buddy-- artists painting together give each other energy and inspiration.  Took pictures of it, then finished it at home.

Both china and flowers are delicate, but they make an strong and lasting impression on our senses.

This is a second version of "Study in Pink" which can be seen by scrolling down. Tried out straight realism with that one, but that just isn't me. I have to make it magical, hence the addition of pigs on pedestals, pansies, paisleys, polkadots, and a parrot. Playing with the letter "P." In which case, she must be a princess.

I've been working on painting faster, and have found that if I paint thin, it's much easier to go fast. This one is a little tighter than what I've been doing lately. Still experimenting with this thinner paint body; maybe I can loosen it up just slightly. I also am enjoying putting glazes over an area, to either knock it back or give it some extra color.

I've acquired what amounts to a whole collection of plastic frogs, and used two of them for the frog in this painting. The column is from a clay model I made, and the pansies from a photo I took.
