CELEBRATION 22 x 28
Thoughts on CELEBRATION...
My painting and the prints of Party Girls was so popular that one of
my galleries asked me to do another one. That was several years ago. I photographed these tulips and vase,
but was never really pleased with the composition, so I didn't paint it.
But then another gallery person asked for "a painting like Party Girls".
So I returned to this photograph and asked myself what I could do to make it successful.
The flowers were long gone, but I got some others and played with
them and the vase and added the drapery, which I was very pleased with.
The next challenge was to decide on the colors for the painting.
Fortunately my imagination delivered the idea for the subtle blue-violets
and sun warmed whites...then I was really excited about painting Celebration.
Looking at it fills me with joy and satisfaction, perhaps because it was so many years in the making!
