Stripes and Limes



















I am finally finished. I set up this still life wanting to challenge myself and I did. This took me about 2 weeks to finish - between painting, contemplating and experimenting. My husband feels it is too busy for him, I shall see what he thinks now that it is finished.

  1. Wow, Tammy. This is gorgeous. I enlarged it and you can see all the textures in the paint. Lots of vivid color and lots of energy. I like how the deeper orange/red in the fabric draws your eye to the front.

  2. Thanks Catherine, I am happy with it too. I think it is going to take months to dry though!

  3. I agree, this is a very beautiful piece, Tammy, well worth your effort. And speaking of effort, Thank you for your comment about my cyclists - I was given short notice to paint it and ended up spending a LOT of time fussing with it. Hopefully it will do well at the auction.

  4. Tammy, I'm just now discovering your blog -- what a treasure trove! I looked at these flowers and limes close up -- absolutely breathtaking. Your paint application and colors are just luscious. Very inspiring!!
