GREEN T POT WITH DAISIES


ACRYLIC ON BOXED CANVAS
I LIKE THE ANGLE OF THE VIEW
OR RATHER- THE PLACING OF THE SUBJECTS AND COLOUR
THE DIFFERENT FORMS EXPRESS THE COLOUR WELL- A BIT OFF BEAT -BUT IM HAPPY :D

SOLD
A FAVOURITE OF MINE - BOUGHT BY ANOTHER ARTIST FRIEND!
THE INSPIRATION IS FROM A SOUTH AFRICAN ARTIST - ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE PLAYING WITH COLOURS AND GRAPHIC STYLE. AT FIRST IT WAS QUITE A CHALLENGE TO WORK WITHIN THESE COLOURS TO EXPRESS THE VALUES EFFECTIVELY..

i have made some changes
and ya i think i like the changes
i do have to say that working in acrylics
is nt my best choice- i seem to paint layers upon layers to get textures and depth..it should of been in oils..or change my brand of acrylics..anyway its late at night 11.50 and i m tired..i had looonng days and painted at night..it s good though!!

I enjoyed making this painting- the idea was to capture the awesome Clutha river- its strength- the glazier infused water moves its milky substance fast - i loved the cold weather outside when taking my pictures for the studies...thesouth island scenes.. makes us stand in awe.. i am hoping to make more of these..we went to ski at Cadrona this weekend and the rivers were just pumping... i was dancing around the sides to fill my camera memory with the lovely scenes..painted on boxed canvas with artists acrylicsstyle of painting is fast, well calculated expressions
