This was a fun and fast oil painting and my intent was to do the whole painting with a palette knife and then part way through I changed my mind.

Some years I put tiny white lights on it, but, this year I used it as a table decoration at the Holiday House Bazaar and I didn't think it needed anything else. Plain and simple, straight forward with a touch of elegance with the gold pot.

Even though the paint was still wet I wanted to see how it looked framed so stuck it in a black frame with the tree near-by.

I'm thinking I might add something in the lower right corner to add some balance ... or I might try painting this one again in a more serious manner ... then again maybe not and just move on the next painting.
It's funny,,onnthe 2nd picture I thouht it was a mirror.
ReplyDeleteA nice painting, in fact!
It is an adorable little painting and I love that you discuss choices and change your mind. The freedom of creativity is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love this one Nancy, just perfect. The hint of colour makes me look more closely and see more.
ReplyDeleteI like the sense of space on the right side, it adds to the feeling of the piece. A sense of solitude to some degree, but in a good way.
That little tree is working well for you!
