Blue Teapot and Pink Roses- SOLD

"Blue Teapot and Pink Roses"

"5 5/8 x 7 5/8" Oil on linen.
sold
$150. + $8 s&h

I really enjoyed the mindless painting on this one. You know- when your painting almost feels like "color in the lines" kind of work. I'm really digging this textured linen background. The objects just pop off the page and give such a three dimensional look. But this background does make it a challenge to manage the edges, keeping them varied and not too terribly sharp. It really is a totally different process from what I have been working on, but a nice difference for a change.

Beautiful painting Marilyn...you had me fooled, I thought you were painting that linen looking background. Now I just need to figure how you got the pattern on the linen in the painting with the pears!

Hi Marilyn, I've watched your work for a long time, mostly through challenges, but I think this is the fist time I've visited your blog. When I came upon this painting, the first thing I noticed was how the pitcher "popped" with a 3-D appearance. Then I read your notes & found you saw it the same way - yeah me - I'm getting a good eye! Anyway, then I went up to the Cow Pitcher and saw it was done in a much looser "painterly" style. Marilyn, you nailed them both. You are very gifted to be able to pull off such different styles so beautifully! How I wish I had an art budget - I'd be shopping! But I certainly am an admirer!
YEAH YOU!
