I am just one big accident waiting to happen. I set this 2' x 3' panel up to photograph outside and the wind sent it sailing to the ground as I was moseying( I am certain mosey is a word) back to my camera. My neighbor was walking by when it crashed and stopped to see if I needed any assistance. I guess she could help me dig concrete out of the wet paint. Look closely and you will see some. Moving on....I did not do this painting in honor of New Years Eve. I took this photo while I was in Charleston, SC. Liked the way the light was coming through the dirty window and shining through the tops of the bottles. Love the pattern the plastic cups made. Will probably do some touch ups when I can safely remove the concrete particles. The sad thing is, is that I know better. This has happened to me lots of times. I am a slow learner.
Happy New Year!!
At least your bottles didn't shatter!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. Great painting, by the way...
Your post made me laugh Carol, I think we can all relate. Though not intended for New Year's it's certainly appropriate and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI sympathize with you...I have done it many times myself...knowing better! This is quite an eye catching painting. The color and the way that you have painted the bottles makes for a terrific painting. Just love the pinkish bottle which sets of the painting. Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteCarol,
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome and I can verify that "Mosey" is indeed a word! I love the big format you are using. You excel with it. Love all the light and this is just plain fun and interesting.
Happy New Year! Have a good one:)
Wow! What a magnificent painting! Great job on the colors and capturing that light! Love your composition, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
You really captured the glow! Love how the glowy orange/reds carry the eye along through the painting. I think when the paint dries, the concrete will fall off. At least leaf bits and twigs do, 'though unfortunately, not cat hair. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOh, another reason I am glad I don't have a cat.
ReplyDeletebeautiful painting!
ReplyDeletejust beautiful Carol - well done, my friend. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic painting Carol. I took several pictures similar to this as well in Charleston. The lighting was just beautiful that weekend. You surely captured the colors and light so well. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning painting, Carol. Love the glow of all that amber. Wow!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, Well done! The lighting and composition is perfect! Despite the mishaps, you have a winner in this!
ReplyDeleteTo echo all the prior comments, the painting is gorgeous. The size fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSo many of my paintings have hit the dust, the concrete, the carpet (while wet), oh and once even, the sand. All while trying out my non-existent photography skills.
Bits of concrete might add character?!
fabulous piece Carol! so well done. All the best for a wonderful New Year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting--I love the variation and character of all the bottles and I am in great admiration that you paint large canvases!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Beautiful, but of course it is... You are a wonderful artist. Looks like a good time...
ReplyDelete..and yes, Mosey is a word!
Carol, I really like this! You did a great job with the clear bottles and the light coming in from the window. Reminds me of a dorm room from last year! Yikes!! Great job
ReplyDeleteWow! Just wow! I can't find enough words! Beautiful reflections and refractions in all that glass. I love it!
