I love the translucency of Jadite. This bowl came from Tim's family - an aunt, I believe. The whisk was my mom's - she used it all her married life. I like the colors of the red and the green together, and painting the eggs was fun, too. Lots of colors in those whites! This is painted on cradled wood, which I LOVE painting on. This painting is for a submission next month, and won't be available till after May 30th.
Hi Kelley,
ReplyDeletegreat painting. Translucency and the whisk!..both trick things to paint...you did a great job!
This is fantastic! I love the way the light glows through the jadeite.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is wonderful, Kelley!
ReplyDeleteI know you're enjoying the sunshine..
You nailed it! You caught that jadite perfectly, with the soft glow. Kelley, you are the bomb!
ReplyDeleteYou just described everything I love about this painting...awesome translucency!
ReplyDeleteGreat painting Kelley...reds and greens are always nice.
ReplyDeleteHey Kelley! Nice job on this one! You are really nailing the shiney stuff. Love the wooden handled whisk.
ReplyDeleteKelley, sooo wonderful
ReplyDelete"you totally nailed Jadite, Kelley! and the volume of the bowl and the eggs and the whisk---great job!!"
ReplyDeleteKelley Great painting - the composition is great and I love the translucency of the jadite!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! This was a painting that really didn't come together till the very last minute! And I'm STILL not 'sure' about the background. But I live by the rule "Do one thing every day that terrifies you!". Jadite. There you go.
ReplyDeleteAwsome Kelley, the colors are so wonderful and the whisk!!
ReplyDeleteNothing else to say. Everyone else has expressed it all! I totally agree - just a wonderful painting!!
ReplyDeleteKelley, Wonderful job! Beautiful painting! I love how you painted the whisk! That looks very challeging!
ReplyDeleteA BEAUTY. Composition and all. I love jadeite and you nailed the glow!
ReplyDeleteThis IS beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove this painting...really lovely
ReplyDeleteI suddenly DO remember those jadite milky glass bowls. The way you painted it made about 50-60 years just wash away, Kelley! Super painting!
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteLove the painting. the colors are perfect together. My aunt collects Jadite.... the green is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOk, I had to go look again to make sure I said my peace here: It's WONDERFUL!! The jadite glows against the whisk and the composition is clever and holds ones attention. Normally a dark top/backdrop might feel heavy??--but it looks awesome. Really, really nice Kelley. You keep getting better and better.
ReplyDeleteYep - I have to chime in too! Kelley - you captured that milky old-fashioned green so well. And the red-handled whisk is the perfect compliment. My Grandma had a lot of that stuff. It brings back memories...
ReplyDeleteI'm still drooling. Those two colors together...the translucent green and red and magical. You did such an unbelievable job on that bowl! Great painting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job, Kelley. You really nailed the translucent quality of the bowl.
ReplyDeleteKelley!
ReplyDeleteThis is so wonderful for many reasons.
The white on white with the eggs on the table. The jadite looks super cool and translucent (it must look amazing in person, huh?). And the red handle of the whisk does indeed go great with the green of the bowl.
Love this one!
