Today I have tried something new. I scanned a painting rather than take a picture. The picture I took didn't turn out well. I had ordered a portable photo booth, and tried that, but wasn't pleased with the results. Think I just need to practice. I know some artists use the scanner and their work looks great......so I will leave it up to you all, any comments are always welcome. I was trying to loosen up with my painting, and that didn't happen! I will just keep trying. I saw a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson that I think applies to all of us artists. "Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be" Don't you love that?
The soft white against the yellow and blue combination is wonderful. I do love Emerson's quote . . . something to think about! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI like your composition and the soft colors. Beautiful! The quote from Emerson is wonderful and on target!
ReplyDeleteCissy, love your work. I wanted to say that I have read a little about Notan. Interesting composition ideas. Your Tabasco painting is timely to see as I am in New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty light on this! I love the softness of the colors too. Great job Cissy.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for stopping by and leaving your comments. I just love hearing from everyone and knowing that you are there spurs me on. So i have to get busy painting!. I have book club this week, Just finished "The Help", a great book! Happy Painting all!
ReplyDeleteLovely painting Cissy! I love the soft warm glow on the egg and subtle shadows on the cup. Scanning seems to be working for you.
