Old Blue Bottle

Initially, this painting was more realistic but also more timid. I loaded up the paint on the blue bottle and eliminated fussy details elsewhere. I like the reincarnation better. I suspect I will have to "oil out" this painting as clearly some areas are drying more matte than others.

  1. Well, naturally, I like this version....it's probably more abstract and expressive than your first version....and abstract is me! I love the thick paint and obvious brush strokes.

  2. Gorgeous painting, Susan! Love the oranges with the blue. And I really like the reflections in the glass of these bottles.

  6. I really enjoy your work Susan. It would be impossible for me to pick a favorite, but this one would probably be in the top picks. Cannot wait to see more.
