Several years ago, I walked the upper deck of a ship clad head to toe in what likely appeared to be a burka (it was not exactly warm). Peering over the rails, I observed the pool deck w/quite a few folks determined to get a jump start on the tanning season...and the terrific striped towels made all sorts of interesting visuals. I knew that photo could be a painting, but I put it away. Still, the photo kept my interest, and I recently decided I would just abandon caution and common sense (so brave) and paint these women anyway. All expectations to the contrary, I like this painting, and now I need to get back on a ship and take lots more photos, make lots of sketches, etc, because I think I could develop this thematically on a larger scale...at least that is my excuse for a trip, and I am sticking to it. $900 unframed + s/h. To purchase this painting (so that my niece can take another trip with me, HA!):
Great composition and love the subject matter!! Puts me in the mood to sit at the pool. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI love this painting. You have made me feel as if I am a participant in the painting.
ReplyDeleteSharon, this is one of my all time favorites of your paintings. The colors and looseness of your painting is wonderful. Also, if these women had known you were going to paint them for posterity they probably would have cringed a bit! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI'll be happy to join you on another!! :)
