Hi Everyone,
Here is my latest painting, "Summer Kaleidoscope". I have painted this before in a 6x6 format. I really like the bird's eye view of this composition. I photographed the reference pics in all different angles but in order to get the bottles, glasses and grapes in a 6x6 format I had to get my trusty ladder out and photograph from above. I love taking pictures from all angles and this composition is the reason why. The cut crystal glasses are showcased beautifully from this angle. I just love all the colors from the grapes that were picked up in the glass and with the light coming through the cut crystal there is some beautiful refracted light on the grapes.
Wednesday I'll have all of work in progress pictures posted showing you the step by step progress.
Carrie

This is so incredibly beautiful Carrie, the birds eye view point of view really creates such an impact. :) Your eye for design always impresses me.
ReplyDeleteI can't say that this is my favorite since I LOVE them ALL, but the colors in the Crystal ware is outstanding and the grapes look like I can reach out and eat them!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Carrie!!!
your work is absolutely beautiful and i really enjoy your blog!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Carrie! I love the colors! I just talked with someone who asked me if I knew a good watercolor teacher. I wish she had asked last year and I could have directed her to your class. She would have loved it!
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie. This painting is truly a gorgeous feast for the eyes! Brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteGosh, this is amazing and so intricate! I just love it! And I am so looking forward to seeing your step by steps! :0)
ReplyDeleteComparing to the smaller version I love the deepened color of the grapes, which brings out the shine of the crystal even more! I can't wait to see the step-by-steps...
ReplyDeleteI love those greens. Everything is so fresh and summery! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, this is just a stunning composition and exquisite palette. What an awesome piece!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, this is my new favorite of your paintings. You really outdid yourself and you just inspired me! I also shared your painting on the SWS facebook page, too. Very fresh.
