We had a sudden spell of very cold weather for the festival, and it was pretty uncomfortable most of the time. For this painting I think i had on four layers of clothing plus gloves, scarf and hat.
These painting festivals are really enjoyable; you always end up meeting some new artists and also see some old friends as well.
John
your bottle tree is great!
ReplyDeleteNice design and composition.
Interesting thing: there were a couple red bottles on the tree as well, as someone mentioned later, and I never even noticed them
ReplyDeletewhen painting. I looked at it later and the red ones were very conspicuous; perhaps the red flowers on the right were so bright that they obliterated my sense of red elsewhere. Just a theory. Thanks for your comments.
Beautiful John! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to paint a bottle tree before, but lost my nerve. You captured it beautifully, but I'm not surprised. Another great job... and another first place, well deserved.
