This week the people’s
choice for colour was hot pink and orange – two colours I love. I have completed two pieces this week one a
small painting and a digital piece.
As if
you were on fire
from
within.
The
Moon lives
in
the lining
of
your skin
Pablo Nevuda
However I wasn’t sure I wanted
to add a blue glaze to her skin, so have decided to leave it for the time being
and see what I think in a week or two.
(The face is actually darker in real life, because it is so dark and
grey, I had to use the flash and it bleached the centre of the painting.)
This second piece was one I
started before my shoulder operation. We
have had a glorious autumn with some amazing colours. This last week or so we have slipped into a
horrible wintry weather pattern, grey and more grey, so having to work in these
bright colours brings back summer. The
trees are from photos I took on a walk about 6 weeks ago and the girl I got
from Free Digital Vintage Photos.
Why not check out some wonder
work by other participants on the Summer of Color that Kirstin is hosting on
her blog. Even better why not join in.
You can see my work also on my photo stream or click on to the Color of Summer’sphoto stream at Flickr.
Just beautiful work and poetry!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing, Sharon! I could never paint like that!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork!!. She is just gorgeous!. I love the digital collage, hope one day I'd be brave enough to try it too :).
ReplyDeleteI really like this painting of the girl with her cat - great style!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better! Your digi piece is so bold and full of detail (I am at a loss with digi work, this is so impressive ;) AND I love your first piece with the cat. They're both so cute together and I LOVE the verse behind it, xoxo

ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the first painting. It is stunning.
ReplyDeleteOn the second one the colours seem to explode, really gorgeous!
Hi Sharon. You've combined the two colors so well. Love this. It's going to be summer over here on the 21st. Enjoy winter though.:) Great work.
ReplyDeletesuper painted girl and a cheeky cat too. BJ#13 (found you on the 2nd attempt as there's more than one Sharon on the list and your surname didn't come with your comment!)

ReplyDeletesuch a charming illustration!
ReplyDeletelove that quote too ~
My favourite is the first piece with the little cat peeping in. Lovely Sharon!
ReplyDeleteI love them both - your painting is precious.
ReplyDeleteI love both of these, and i love the verse you picked to paint the girl with, too. Your art is so fabulous and creative! I am in awe!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow your paintings are stunning! Love the orange and pink.
ReplyDeleteLove both the works.The colors are so brilliant in the second one.
ReplyDeleteI love your lady. I seldom add words to my art because I think it takes away from the beauty of the piece. I'm sure yours would work either way.
ReplyDeleteAs I sit here drenched in perspiration, I feel for your freezing weather conditions and grey skies.
I like them both, but I think my favourite is your painting. I love the face, and love the exptression on the face of the little cat, too!
ReplyDeleteI love both pieces, very creative!
ReplyDeleteI love the expression on that cat's face... and saw the temps for your neck of the woods on sky the last night... freezing and miserable seems to sum it up... will send you some Queensland sun...xx
ReplyDeleteI love the girl in the first painting. You've captured the beautiful poem so well. So soft and dreamy. Your second piece is fabulous as well. The colors do bring the summer out =)

Has definitely been very gray in the last few days. We had sun today which was most welcome. I love both the girl and your digital image. A fabulous use of the colour prompts. So richly layered and textured.
ReplyDeletebeautiful paintings Sharon!
