"Friendship" (sold)

(sold)

Friends and blankets may seem like an odd comparison until you stop to think about those friends you have who know how to produce feelings of comfort and encouragement. It then makes perfect sense. Enjoy the company of a good friend today.

To be honest, this was not an easy piece to create. I tried several colors for the sofa and they all fell short. The only choice was to go with high contrast. So I picked white simply because it's at the opposite end of the gray scale from black. By also writing with bleedproof white and introducing more white gesso in the background, it finally worked...(I think!) The moral of this story is to use color to  tie everything together by repeating it throughout the piece. The thing that keeps coming up with these daily works is that there is not time for "redo's". I have no choice but to make it work!
