So I needed to do a painting for one of my art swaps. I’ve been very intimidated by this because I’ve never done a painting for anyone else. It’s the biggest acrylic painting I’ve ever attempted (5×7 – don’t laugh) and I used Van Gogh’s ‘Olive Trees with Yellow Sky and Sun’ as my subject. (I think that’s what it’s called, but I’m not positive). It is my favorite painting by him.
Now…please don’t laugh…..this one is mine.
I know it’s fuzzy. I had to take a picture because I could not scan the painting because of the texture. And I couldn’t use a flash because it is so shiny. But that’s it. I like it, I really hope my swap partner does too. I’m going to paint another one for myself.
I used plastic palette knives to get the texture and I really do enjoy working with paint like that. We shall see what else I come up with. I know I promised a ‘Starry Night’ for one of my roommates.
