"A Good Idea" (sold)




















(sold)

We all come up with good ideas and probably on a daily basis. Not all of them survive. This quote harkens back to another one that is older than the hills...."A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". (click on image to enlarge lettering)

Blue and yellow are two of the most appealing split complements. And if you're still in a "muddle" over color schemes and complementaries, puchase a small color wheel. The basic information is right there for all to see. It really isn't complicated.

This piece is an example of a very realistic still life with an abstract background. I may have mentioned this previously, but there is an excellent still life artist creating very beautiful, highly detailed still lifes, but she always adds a bit more energy by throwing in enough abstraction in the background to "kick it up a notch". Google her name...Sherry Loehr....and you will see some amazing art. Also, if you don't paint or draw, try combining a carefully cut realistic image and use it as a bit of collage with your abstraction. Very exciting!
