Splurge
oil on gallery wrapped canvas
30x40x1.5"
I took a day off from reality and just had fun with paint. I had no image in mind, just started applying the color and let it lead me to the composition.
I knew I wanted to make something loose and juicy, and that I would add details afterward.
Plenty of details.
It's good to let loose with the paint, every now and then! Ole!
I really like the pictures you've been painting. I like the reality ones, and now I also like Splurge. It looks more like your quilting.
ReplyDeleteWhen you mentioned adding detail, I immediately thought, "Thread Painting," but then I remembered you're working on a canvas, not a quilt.
i love this luscious splurge...
ReplyDeleteOoooh, what yummy color!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely... it reminds me of a giant yellow iris... Or is that just me?
ReplyDeleteWOW! Quite a departure from the realistic paintings of the fruit & veggies; But very wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLoosey Goosey!

I love this one Melody, makes me happy to look at it.
ReplyDeleteYour realistic paintings are very skillful and you are obviously enjoying doing them so that is wonderful .
Personally though, I love the more abstract and colourful and original like this one...it does remind me of your quilts too.
Thanks for sharing it .

I LOVE this one - the bright Melody colors!!! I'm a bright color person, too.
ReplyDeleteYou have been let loose again. Love it. Wild and Bight--- what a way to live.

I'm really intrigued by the way you let the composition unfold with no preconceived ideas as you started. It's a wonderful piece and leaves me wondering if this is how you've approached any of your work in fabric as well. I would love to experiment with fabric in this way, but I've no idea if I have the "gene" - how does one get started? It's a whole new way of thinking (or non-thinking...)
