This painting is a departure from my usual style. It has the look of a vignette and I basically used a two-color palette with only a hint of pink and purple simply for my own need for color ( although these colors are really not visible unless you get extremely close.
"Ethelbert" is about 14" X 18" on 140 lb SP Fabriano, from that 11 yard roll that I bought and wanted to try before starting to work on a commission that requires extra-white paper. I was quite happy with the paper and its "whiteness". Sigh of relief...
I hope that you are all having a wonderful fall and that you will find something that you like in my "Ethelbert".
Your are so creative and original. I really admire your artistic eye and the way you portray the things you see. Wonderful painting!
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind as usual, Katherine:-) Thank you.
DeleteEthelbert is adorable! He is going to have his work cut out for him....
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving me a chuckle this morning!
That's probably why he looks a bit depressed...he can't keep up with the work:-) Thank you for visiting, Laura, and I wish you a great Thanksgiving weekend.
DeleteIts a fabulous face! I do love these pieces of carvings that you've done, very unique.
ReplyDeleteYes, I wonder what the origins of them are, who carved them, who commissioned them? I shall have to have a closer look at them if I get a chance when I'm in Ottawa next week.
Hi, Jeanette. I am glad that you like it. I will certainly try to get more info on these carvings. I am really enjoying working on this series; however, some of the carvings are quite scary:-) Enjoy your trip to Ottawa. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you while you are here.
ReplyDeleteHe's fantastic, Christiane!
ReplyDeleteI've quite a few of these types as ornaments in my garden, so I love your series! xx
Pat, thank you! Your garden seems absolutely wonderful!
