Mixed wet and dry media on Rives BFK. 22x30 inches.
This is part of a series I am working on where the artwork can be set side by side and it should look like a long continuous work. Like a diptych but touching and of course involving more artwork.

Critique by ~TeresaClark Jun 5, 2009, 12:32:50 PM
You have a very personal iconography and it shows in every one of your paintings, yet it is outstanding to see more complex pieces like this one, especially if it will be part of a bigger project.
Your use of intense colors (phtalo blue?) makes an impact in the viewer, yet your mix with sober grays gives more depth to the piece and to the concept itself.
The composition is outstanding, my only suggestion would be maybe to make the main figure (the vase) less solid, since it already has attention supported with the blue shade and its situation and size. You may have already tried this so I don´t know if this suggestion is valid :D
All in all, congratulations for this is an amazing work!

Very pretty; I don't remember seeing this one in my inbox.
Must have missed it. :o
Very pretty colors, and I like how everything seems to fit together even though they don't really have much in common.

I especially like the blue. <3

Thank you very much! The blue is turquoise pthalo by Golden acrylics. Probably some manganese blue too.
