Abstract, watercolor on 4 x 6 140 lb. cold press paper. © Sheila Delgado 2013
You can tell by the yellow drips, the direction this was painted. I think it works better in landscape.
A look from this direction, and there is definitely a Cars character staring back at you. A bus or a cab maybe. An older guy with spectacles and one visible tooth.
I am in love with Inktense Deep Indigo. Indigo LOVE. I would say LUV, but it is a serious color and requires proper spelling. I want to use it for everything. So many values, I just love all the shadows, and the almost blacks. There is usually a bit left on my palette, I never clean it away. Heaven forbid some of that luscious color should sit unadored at the bottom of a trash can.
I have even saved tissues from captured indigo spills. I am going to use them in collage. I used to tell people that Cobalt blue was the color of my soul. But now I think it is Deep Indigo. Does that mean I have mellowed? Or rotted? ha ha
Thanks for stopping by, I really enjoy hearing from you! I will be gone for the rest of the day, and I won’t be able to take a look, but do treat yourself to the great art and artists taking part in this challenge.
Enjoy!
I like indigo as well..I have indigo acrylic ink;-)
I did see the guy with the spectacles..
Great work Sheila!!!
Thanks so much Mariette! I have yet to try acrylic inks. but I am dying too, the colors look so intense and brilliant… and Yupo. That is on my list as well.
VERY COOL Abstract here — Sheila !!!
Love the blue design on the right!!! And the yellow design is awesome because to me it’s making shelter for the littler blue design! There is just a very cool look about the entire piece — the way it flows… the movement is awesome because it makes your eyes travel in search of design and in a gentle way. Some abstracts are kinda confusing for me to look at, and don’t even get me started on cubism. Oh my…cubism makes my eyes go batty!!! (Mild cubism doesn’t, but oh my goodness… the advanced stuff….forget about it. :O)
Thank You Joan. I loved reading your interpretation! What you see is completely different from my take on it. But I deliberately did not mention my thoughts, as I did not want them to influence the viewer. I too see a bit of a shelter, but in a different way. It is interesting though, that we both see the same element don’t ya think? I do! Oh yeah… don’t get me started on cubism. Or the abstracts you mentioned. I can appreciate the talent they take, but… not my choice so much, too look at.
