Farmer's Market - Silk Painting

This is another silk painting that I painted to enter in the "Live and Play in Tustin" show. I should know soon if they got into the show. I almost didn't enter this year. The theme really stumped me because it seems like you really need to have a person in the painting that is showing the living and playing in Tustin. Well, I don't like painting people. I made a couple of attempts and then decided to skip the show this year. After talking with the gallery owner, I decided to make a last attempt and I'm glad I did. I'm pretty happy with both of them. I like the way they look framed. Silk paintings are always so fresh and happy looking to me.

  3. I think it is fabulous, Nancy. There is a 3-D effect happening too. And I find myself almost being able to smell the fresh dirt and garden produce! Good luck in the show!

  5. I agree the girl in the skirt and hat makes the first piece more summery and fun. Same for the lighter palette. Love the Farmers Market too - it looks very fresh! (What IS it about silk painting?? :)

  6. There is definitely a bright, clean look that can be achieved with silk dyes that no other medium seems to give. I love them!
