I wanted to post this piece whilst I was away - it was in response to week 4 in the wanderlust classes - it was all about still life - this is the picture I composed and worked from to a degree.
I say to a degree because many things changed!
Here's my final canvas ...
And a closer look ...
closer still - I think I captured the main elements and am pretty pleased overall with the way it turned out - I haven't done anything like this ever really - interesting stuff!!!
Big hugs

ReplyDeleteBeautiful canvas; Great inspiration, but I love the background in your work here! Enjoy your time with the kiddos! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHuge round of applause from me Rachel, one for attempting this and two for doing such a superb job!! I cannot even imagine creating something like this even though I have watched the class twice! Love, love your painting! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteWow! Rachel this is awesome huni, I am so proud of you for attempting it and doing it so beautifully. I know with my constant forays into sketching how daunting it can be. Which reminds me I need to remember to photograph some of my journal pages and artsy craftsy stuff. Watch out for them Vikings, we want you and the little chippers back! Enjoy yourselves Karen xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting, Rachel! Well done!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant first effort at still Art Rachel, Wanderlust really is stretching us and taking us out of our comfort zone but its fun to try new things. Hope you enjoy your time in York. Mo x
