Seen in a Cellar

Comments

I like them Michael. I like the light behind and through. Is that textured surface? And were they empty?

I love how you have painted these Michael. Lots of lovely texture and hues.

Thanks Marjorie and Sarah. Two empty glass jars with little reflection in the low light of the cellar. No texture added other than the paint itself which I applied, scraped and reapplied to get the different hues to shine through. The rose colour is not quite so intense as in the photo but otherwise quite true photo of the painting.

Wonder what they had in them originally. Like the faded"old " look a sort of look back in time .

You were inspired Michael, this is a great image. Morandi-esque, but a lot more attractive!

Good subtle colour Michael..what I call a smart (as in classy) painting :)

Lovely mid tones in this one Michael. Great colours!

Great job! Very different from what you normally show. It's always nice to try out something else, especially something you felt compelled to do.

Thanks all - Carole Louise, Val, Jennifer and Gudren - I do appreciate all the support.

Well, I'm waiting for two cartoons then. I'll post a new cartoon once you post them.

Lovely modern feel in this one, Michael, and beautiful palette.

A smashing pair Michael, I love the blue greys, the textures and the shapes of those lovely bottles.
