6x8, oil on canvas board
This is another of those setups where your mind fools your eye. The vase actually has a lot more foreshortening, so it tapers more towards the bottom. But when I painted it that way, it looked wrong. And, frankly, ultimately art must trump reality.
Also, it was a bit of a stretch to paint something that orange. I wanted to set the purpley-pink flowers against it.
Hi Connie,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you've handled the transparency of the glass, especially the shadows of the flower and the distortion in water...
Great work!
