| 4" x 4" oil on Ampersand Gessobord - SOLD - |
This is the first time I've tried painting a marble. Fun! I love gazing into these shiny little orbs with all their beautiful swirls and ribbons and colors. They mesmerize me. So, this is the first in a small series I'm going to do so I can learn about painting them and decide if it's something I want to pursue further. It's ridiculous how much time I spent trying to select which marble to paint first, trying it out in different settings, figuring out the perfect angle and playing around with lighting and shadows. Good grief! So finally I just picked one, plunked it down on a plain piece of paper with a bright light shining on it and dove in.
I've been doing the craziest mixed-up things lately. I ordered a whole pile of 5" x 5" panels by mistake instead of my usual 6" x 6". Now I'm out of 6" x 6", I don't know why but I don't want to paint on 5" x 5", so I'll use some 4" x 4" panels until my new order gets here. And this is just one of many silly mistakes I've made recently... so, today's subject is appropriate. I really think I've lost my marbles!
Hello Kathleen:)Your first marble is a beauty! I think it's very difficult to do them. The colors going everywhere and the light in it. I think you did a great job. Beautiful!!
