Gorgeous! You captured the bowl wonderfully. I can see the texture very nicely! You are right too-that square format really works.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Libby, for your generous comments. The texture aspect was fun to deal with. The glass bowl has a "wrinkly" look to it, and I tried several ways to get that before I was pleased. I love that experimental part of painting.
DeleteAMAZING painting, Carol!! The tomato's are beautiful but that BOWL is outstanding! You captured the look of glass perfectly.... I don't want to say this is my favorite because I love all of your work.!
ReplyDeleteGosh, Hilda! What kind words! I'm glad you like the painting. I'm trying to go a bit larger as far as surfaces go. More room to play, I guess. Your recent work, a portrait of your grandson, is truly a fabulous effort!
DeleteThis is really great Carol, actually stunning I would say ! Love the shine and the transparence of the bowl, very well done ,and the tomatoes are perfect , so real !
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful, Jane, for such nice comments. You make me feel pleased! The recent abstract you did really caught my eye! The colors are luscious together and perfect for this time of year with the falling leaves and autumn taking hold. I also love the "design" of it. Everything just seems to flow together beautifully. It looks so nice on the wall in your photo!
DeleteAbsolutely fabulous. What a marvelous example of painting a transparent bowl. Your tomatoes are very, very good, but the bowl is the star of the show.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie! I really appreciate it. Isn't it funny how you can tuck away a photo for the future, and forget about it? Then, one day you find it again and it's just what you want to paint? Guess I should go through old photos more often!! By the way, I'm loving your pansies. They just make me feel happy and energetic!!!
DeleteLovely painting, you have captured the transparency of the glass bowl beautifully, not an easy thing to do.
ReplyDeleteDiana, I haven't painted much glass before, so I had no idea where this might go. I really learned quite a bit about the process, and look forward to doing it again. Have you recovered from your large, successful show in Wexford? I'm so glad you posted photos of some of the framed paintings! What a treat!!
DeleteDear Carol - I looked around for the word to describe this beautiful painting...stunning. You really made this painting sing. So glad you shared it. Hope you have a wonderful week-end.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, thank you so much for writing and for your kind words. I'm so happy you like this painting. It had its challenges, but I had such fun working on it. I enjoyed your post on the snowfall. Gorgeous photos and beautiful words once again!
DeleteGreat job Carol. Your bowl and tomatoes look so realistic. You must have spent a lot of time looking at the photo to get such detail, not to mention the time it took to paint it.
ReplyDeleteHi Melanie,
DeleteSo good to hear from you! Well, I'm certainly NOT the fastest car in the lane! It took about 5 days - a couple of hours each day - to finish the painting. I'm a slowpoke with the block-in. Even so, I love to paint. It's a wonderful way to relax most of the time.Thank you for your kind comments!
I didn't mean to imply you were a slowpoke! But I know what you mean, it takes me longer than most people to paint something. But I do lose track of time when I paint. I guess that's what they call going with the flow.
DeleteOh, Melanie, I never even thought about that. Guess I was just thinking in general that "daily painting" for me means planning, drawing, brushing or tweaking whatever I'm working on. I envy the painters who can do all of that and have a wonderful, finished painting in one day. Not sure I'll reach that point, but I think the idea of it all is to be involved with the process on a daily basis. You're sweet to even think that I might have thought that, but I didn't at all. No worries!!
DeleteThis is a truly luscious painting - the colors compliment each other and bring out the best in both the main reds and greens - and that bowl is gorgeous! Well done - something like this does take time to work out before even drawing or putting paint to paper.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rhonda! Red and green have always been my favorite pairing of complementary colors. I find that I use it a LOT!
DeleteAbsolutely love everything about this.......the colours, the compostion, the glass, beautiful !
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Helen. Your bowl of pink roses in your latest post was stunning! What a talent you have!! I appreciate your comment!
