Probably my favorite color to paint with, Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold, came to the rescue for this piece, Sunflower. It was looking a little pasty, a wash of the gold and then edged with a wash of browns made the yellows pop.
Sunflower
Have you ever driven through Vermont in the summer? Rolling greener-than-green hills and clear bluer-than-blue skies. And hay bales. Lots of hay bales.
Hay Bales in Vermont
The glow that you have achieved around the sunflower is wonderful. How large is this piece?
ReplyDeleteTHe hay bales in VT is sweet and very pieceful. Again, what is the size?
ooops--pieceful was a slip and should actually be peaceful
ReplyDeletehee, no piecing in either of these!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments!!! the sunflower is about 17" square and the hay bale one is about 17" x 37". The sunflower one is destined for the NLQG mini quilt auction.
Gorgeous! I love how the various colors dance around the piece.
