Yeesh. If this painting was a contestant on American Idol, Simon Cowell would call it "self indulgent." I'd been wanting to paint my recently acquired vintage rubber squeak toys... But in this painting I also tried a different palette and a few other silly tricks. Note to self: Keep it simple.
Love the rubber doll, way cute! Your white and light flowers always look so lush!!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, Diane. I do love the flowers. And anyway, you painted, even if you don't love it.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere a painter who said, "Some days my muse just doesn't show up." I feel like that lots of days.
Maybe your muse didn't show up today.
Your flowers (as always) are beautiful and so realistic. I also like the sweak doll. It reminds me of going to my grandmother's house as a child. She loved to grow lots of pretty flowers and in her attic (playroom) a plastic sweak doll similar the this one was in the collection of toys that we played with. Ahh such memories :)
ReplyDeletelots to look at here and fun to see! great job!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your PO very much the picture with the article. Continues to refuel!!
ReplyDeleteI like the way the little doll seems to be peeking at the viewer from under the flower. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is darling, that little girl doll is soooo cute and you captured that. I love the color palette you have chosen for this arrangement.
