Nostalgia

oil 16x20 inches click for purchase information Finished, I think. I'll put it away and look at it again in a week. The background leans toward pink, which seems more harmonious with the greens and dark reds. I revisited the clock to revise the shape and make some deliberate marks.

  2. Beautifully done! You've created harmony between this interesting assortment of objects. Love the colors you chose. When painting a clock, always wonder how an artist decides what time it is...

  4. I really appreciate all of your comments since this is probably the most ambitious still life I've attempted. Kathleen, this is where the hands were on the clock. I liked it the way it was and didn't even think about changing it.

  6. Wow Karen, beautifully painted and the colors all go together so well. I enlarged it and all the wonderful highlight spots dance around the painting, taking the eye with them. A really great painting!
