My son made this round - ball-like vase for me. He remembered I said I wanted one for roses - and it's creamy white - perfect for reflecting the roses! I got some red roses to put in it and I just love it! Do you remember that song in the 60's "I want some red roses for a blue lady... send it to the sweetest gal in town...."? I'm old, I know.
Above is the last painting of the workshop I just took with
Leslie Saeta and
Dreama Tolle Perry. I was going to post the 2nd one I did - with the palette knife, but when I went to select it I realized I hadn't cropped it. So... next post! Also next post I'll show you the painting I started when we played "Musical Easels"!
First off, major props to the son who listened and remembered something special his mom wanted. The vase is beautiful and those glazey reflections are wonderful. I like the roses- so loose and fun with gorgeous colors and value changes.
ReplyDeleteI love this painting that you did at the workshop- really nice colors and great brushwork:) Take care!
I the roses in the white vase. The painting that you did in the workshop is very beautiful too!!! And....I do remember the song..guess that makes me old too!!
ReplyDeleteI'm old but I don't remember the song. Love your rose painting and the fact that your son made the vase. Have heard from a couple of people how great the workshop was. Want to see your musical chair painting. Fun idea.
ReplyDeleteI am old, but don't remember the song; however, your title got my attention. I especially like the pops of orange against lovely dark background; beautiful! Love your confident, bold brushstrokes in the workdshop painting; very well done!
ReplyDeleteWell, I do remember that song but always thought it was a bit cheesy... But when I see those roses and that vase that your son MADE (!) the song takes on a lovely tone and meaning...
ReplyDeleteLovely art and I am crazy about that ocre yellow one created with a palette knife.

Your son did a wonderful job, he not only listened but he's also talented! Beautiful paintings:) Can't wait to see the palette knife painting and musical easel piece!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, Love this little floral and your son's vase is perf!! If you haven't seen my latest post, I mentioned that I saw your painting of yellow tulips that is hanging here in the Scottsdale Art School display area in the lobby of Celebration of Fine Art. I am loving being in this 10 week exhibit, with a studio set up I am getting so much work done and being around 98 other artists is so much fun! It's all about art around here!
ReplyDeleteKelley, beautiful work, as always! You also have a darling son, because he has a mom who raised him right!
ReplyDeleteLove the workshop painting and also the roses. What a dear son.
ReplyDeleteAs one "elderly", as my granddaughter likes to say, to another, I remember the song! :-) I'm just happy that I can remember it!!
ReplyDeleteI like both paintings. Your son's vase is beautiful! It really is perfect for your roses and great subject in your painting. With the dark background it is very dramatic.
These roses are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely roses, Kelley. I don't remember that song...ummmmm, ok, I remember it. Dang, I'm old too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous painting and what a sweet and talented son and sounds like a thoughtful husband too! Someone send you some gorgeous roses! And l love the painting of the house you did in the workshop. So Provence like!! Love it. Happy painting!
