Yipes Stripes, Sold

Apricots, grapes and stripes. I drew a lot of stripes when I was a fashion illustrator (lo these many years ago), and I love the way they can show the movement of the fabric. It establishes the folds with very little shading.

And I'm done!!! All my paintings for my March show are complete. I still have to frame them. But that's only time consuming. I feel pretty good right now. Tomorrow I'll paint something small and see if I can still do that.

Orange High Rise

Another for my show, I'm getting very close to being done. I'm looking forward to getting back to the daily painting experience. I have been painting every day, but it's been all day every day. I miss painting the small ones. (I wonder if I remember how to paint small.)
This one reminded me how much the colors around a color, effect our perception of it. I had toned the canvas orange, and when I started painting the cloth I was sure the color that I had mixed was a very warm gray, but it looked too cool. Sure enough when I added the cool gray background the color that had looked so cool next to the orange tone, now looked very warm. I know these things, but it can still surprise me. Luckily I had trusted my color mix and hadn't made it any warmer.
