Day 23 – 30 In 30

Thoughts of you. Watercolor and gouache on Yupo. 4.5 x 6. © 2014 Sheila Delgado

Counting this as done for today. But I think it needs… something. Any thoughts? I think it would make a nice gift card. There is room enough to add (digitally), “Thinking of you”, “You are…always on my mind” or “Happy Valentines”. It is really more red than pink in person, but pink works.

Another possibility for submission to “LOVE SAYINGS: wit & wisdom of romance, courtship, and marriage.”

I have 6 paintings started. Enough to get me to the end of the month. I have three others that are wipe outs. Yupo experiments gone wrong. But I had fun making a mess!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog, and thanks to all who leave comments. I love hearing from you! More 30 In 30 goodness here.

The base color, the pink that you see, is actually a warm mauve. I mixed magenta with a bit of copper. There is a mild sheen to it. This is another possible submission to “LOVE SAYINGS: wit & wisdom of romance, courtship, and marriage.”

The words are from the poem, To His Coy Mistress, by Andrew Marvell. It was one of my favorites, a discovery in my college poetry class. I found a site that suggested you should have Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s get it on” playing while you read this. How times doth change.

Happy Monday everyone! More 30 In 30 goodness here.

Heart on Blue. Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas. 4 x 4 in. © 2014 Sheila Delgado

Another painting on the love theme, a possible candidate for, “LOVE SAYINGS: wit & wisdom of romance, courtship, and marriage”. There are about six to eight layers of paint on this. All the detail, and the heart wrap around the sides. There is bronze paint running through the heart, it never scans well. You can see it better in the photo below.
