I am working on a painting for my
Art Critique class coming up November 1.
The assignment is to use a 'mother' color, choosing a particular paint
color, and using it throughout the entire painting, in EVERY mix! I am choosing for my mother color Cadmium Yellow
Medium. It is a warm color, a bright one
and a color I am drawn to. It reminds me
of golden afternoon light and comfort.
We were encouraged for this
assignment to pick any subject that we wanted, but as I was doing a 'mother'
color, I chose to do a tribute to my own mother. I will explain further when the painting is
completed, but this will have a rubber ducky in the painting! I loved the basic color, and the challenge of
making it come to life and work throughout the painting. Thank goodness for taking the occasional art
class, and getting together with other artists.
Despite the stereotype of the hermit artist, we need that stimulation,
and the inspiration of talking 'art'.
Not that I don't LOVE getting some alone time....
