While walking by a roadside meadow a few days ago, I spotted tall, thin grasses with these wispy cattails. They were so delicate; I thought it would be an interesting challenge to paint something with essentially no mass placed in a jar with no water. Primarily, it is a painting of air.

What color blue do you use? You paint glass well!
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie, almost always, the only blue on my palette is ultramarine. Occasionally, I will use cobalt or even more rarely cerulean.
ReplyDeleteSusan, I am a new "convert" to your blog :-) I really LOVE your paintings, and this one is so ethereal, simple and beautiful...love the composition. Your painting of "air" is exquisite!
ReplyDeleteLOVELY. Your paintings of "air" are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, I would never have thought to paint something like this, thinking it would be very hard to do - I love what you did with it!
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely! Makes me want to paint glass, too.
