"Heart & Feathers" -- oil on canvas 12x12" -- Margie Guyot
It's snowing like mad and I don't have TV reception, so it's been a great time to be painting in the studio! I love painting this red Carnival glass heart. It's kind of a killer, as far as difficulty goes. Every tiny change in your position affects how it reflects. Notice the orange shadows it's casting on the crumpled paper?
And I love wild turkey feathers! Lots of wild turkeys all over the place up here and I pick them up (the feathers, not the turkeys!). I think they're fascinating.
Painting crumpled paper is kind of fun. Maddening-fun, that is! But it beats shoveling snow.
TV?!? Nah. You have cats. Put 'em in a box with the crumpled paper and the turkey feathers and they'll entertain you all afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI like the crumpled paper background. It would be nice to think that all the things I used to write on paper and then crumple might have ended up as a different art form.
