Finished the Painting! Turquoise Pot with Vegetables....


"Turquoise Pot with Vegetables"



I just finished the large 12 by 16 inch version of my pastel painting "Turquoise Pot with Vegetables". The two little studies, one of which I showed you last week,  went quick but I kept fussing with the large one for all of the past week.  If you read my blog you know I have been working toward using more vivid colors.  Now that I am getting more comfortable, I really am having fun working in the color red! Growing up as a redhead, I never wore any red clothing so subconsciously I think I ignored it in my art.  To get to the point, it has only been maybe the last 6 months that I have ventured in the world of  red.  So stand by, and we will see where the road leads!
