Well I finally got the darned oil paint out and had a go at painting with it over the last few days and I am satisfied with the results. Although I had painted with oils when I was younger it had been years and I was a little worried about the smell and the cleanup, but it was fine and I have found a new love..
Getting the photos this morning was a whole other story as it is bright and windy out doors and I just had a heck of a time trying to get a picture that didn't have too much glare as this baby is going to Ebay!
This is the best I could do for now and hey things never look as good as they do in person and this is no exception.
Next I have another lovely floral to finish that I had started last year that will be done on a black background so it should be quite dramatic.
Have a wonderful creative day! Tina xo
SO beautiful Tina!Love the color of yellow.I guess we were both thinking of yellow today,lol.I changed my background to yellow which is something rare for me,lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the sweet comments always enjoy your reply yo my post today.I loved papaer dolls too.I found the cutest book of them when I was shoppin g the other day I wanted to buy them just for a keepsake but changed my mind.
Have a lovely day! HUGS!
Oh Becky you should have gotten them! About 10 years ago when I lived in Kansas City I was shopping in Barnes and Noble and they had some vintage ones of ladies with their outfits from the 1890's and 1890-1919 (gowns by Worth, Paquin, Lanvin) they were only $4.95@ at the time and I grabbed them like a child! I still take them out and look at them from time to time. I didn't cut them out but I still enjoy the looking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely comment on my painting, I have already started another one. Soon I will be doing some lovely pink pastel ones!

I love the new painting ... absolutely gorgeous. I have collected old rose paintings over the years and I just love them. I'm sure this beauty won't be on Ebay for very long.

Hi Meg and thanks so much for the lovely comment and encouragement. I also have long admired old rose paintings and whenever I see one in a magazine on someone's wall I just sigh. It's exciting to now be doing a few in oil for the first time.
ReplyDeleteIt's always wonderful when a fellow artist says something nice about your work so thanks again!

Hi Mandy and thanks so much for your lovely comment. I have wanted to try oils for a long, long time and was afraid to open those tubes and get going so I am kind of proud that it turned out so well overall. Thanks again!

You paint beautifully, such details...
ReplyDeleteYellow and white roses are my favorite, you have captured them in oils just perfect.
Well done !

This is beautiful Tina! I love the subtle colours and the hint of orange in the shadows between petals! One of my fondest summer holiday memories is from the summer after Grade 8 - my best friend and I wanted to paint; I'm not sure if it was da Vinci or Rembrandt that inspired us but she bought acrylics and I bought oils. We had a blast! I kept one of my paintings for many years after and every time I looked at it I went back in time to the smell of a hot, sunny day intermingled with the scent of turpentine. I think I just might have to go to the art store soon...
ReplyDeleteTina, this is beautiful!!
