Gourd

"Coming and Going" or "Hello Good-Bye" were both titles considered for this painting. The gourd reminds of a wingless bird, maybe saying, "You talking to ME?"
It just about drove me out of my gourd, so to speak :-), trying to paint all these odd shapes, bumps, stripes and reflected lights. I usually do these small paintings in one sitting but this one took two.

  2. Hi Kim
    What a wonderful painting! I like everything about it: the composition, the palette, the texture/brushwork. It really "speaks" to me. I think you met the challenge head-on and won! (What size is it?)

  5. Thank you, Fredericks~ I appreciate your commenting very much. Your paintings are quite beautiful, as is your writing. I am particularly intrigued by your article, "Do Colours Stay at Home?" I ponder these things, too.
