This is the finished painting. I am extremely happy with this one and can't wait to get started on another one. I love the black I mixed for this piece. I used sap green and alizarin crimson with a touch of ultramarine blue. It is really rich and has depth; I find that the blacks that come from the tube can be really flat looking. I will be delivering this painting today, just in time for it to be revealed at Karen and Jon's Christmas Open House. (Can't wait to see it on the wall guys.)
This is your best work ever! I'm crazy about this one! Seriously! Congratulations on getting it just right.
ReplyDeleteWow, wow and WOW!!!! Nice work Tammy! They will be thrilled. Wish I could see it in person- I'm sure it is even more stunning. How big is it?
ReplyDeleteLove your nocturnal scenes Tammy - wonderful aura.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteNicki this one is 30 x 54 inches, so it is a nice big size. Close to the size of a car windshield. It does look better in person, there is a lot of glare in the photo.
Oh Tammy, I'm just seeing this now and WOWEE!!! This is a stunner!! Really gorgeous and striking. I bet it looks amazing on their wall. Maybe you could get another picture? It's absolutely beautiful. You should be really proud : )))
ReplyDeletethanks kim, I will try and get another photo at their home. It even has their wall colour in the painting. ( I must have done it unconsciously). It does look like it was made for their room.
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous, Tammy! Love the dark drama and the glow of the lights.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous - very rich and full of energy. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out great Tammy...it must look stunning in person. (I know how great they are in person..)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a Happy New Year and have lots of creating in 2011!

You did a nightscape very well. This is how exactly looks at night. I love the style of this piece and the waviness of the night lights. The night lights are luminous and glowing. A very beautiful piece.
