"Pollination Daisy" Impasto Heavy Acrylic applied with palette knife.
Done for a challenge on Artist Reference Photos Facebook Group
Thanks to Shawn Parker for the Photo Reference.
I always think paintings look better with a mat. My daughter thinks they should always be white, but I prefer colors. This is my last 6x6 mat so I will paint 5x7s from now on. I have lots of those mats! I can cut my wc paper any size, and if I coat it with Gesso, it makes a good surface to accept acrylic paints.
The finished painting looked boring to me, so I spattered the yellow "pollen" on last and now I like it. On Daily Paintworks for Auction.
Wow!....what a great painting. Love the textures :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting.
ReplyDeletelovely painting, in this case I don't think a white mat would look good.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I like the textural look to this. Great job, Penny!
ReplyDeleteThank you all! Linda Starr, I agree with you, but galleries evidently like white or cream color mats. Good thing I am not showing my art in a gallery. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI am not in favor neither of white like your daughter said. Yet I see the galleries like the white. Really.
ReplyDeleteYour art is beautiful!
