FINE ART OIL PAINTING: PORTRAITS ABSTRACT ART PURPLE YELLOW


As you can see, I give the title according to SEO, so forgive the redundant description. The name of this painting is: Elementals. I was going to call it "The Fire God" but then that would leave out the torso-less dude on the left. THis is an original oil and acrylic painting done in the abstract style, with a slightly Mexican theme, that measures 19.5 x 23 x 1.25. I use the oil colors of dioxine purple, cadmium yellow and lemon yellow, pthalo blue, and naples yellow. I have this painting on sale in my Ebay store here: http://stores.ebay.com/The-Escape-Artist-Gallery_W0QQssPageNameZl2QQtZkm.



It is finally winter and it has dumped at least 2 feet of snow here at our house. We live at 10,200 feet right in the valley of the tallest mountain in Colorado and the 2nd tallest in the continental US. Here is a picture of Jackie Brown, my little Honda Civic, that I drove cross country in the summer of 2006. When I say cross country, I really mean cross country. I drove from Seattle to central Florida. She was such a good car; she is named after the Quentin Tarantino movie and character of the same name. I only drive her in the summer now.



This is our front yard. Lots of snow! WHen we bought this house, there was a doggie grave very close to the front door. We decided to leave it. Now our dog likes to sit on the grave and stare out into the neighborhood. It's like she feels something.

fascinating piece and really neat that you describe the actual paint colors (like phthalo blue--wow). The torsoless dude looks like he might be a mutant Jolly Green Giant... maybe the result of too many farm chemicals in all those Niblets? Also enjoyed your photos, simple and moving-- and the description of your doggie sitting on the other canine grave was very interesting.

Okay, this is cool. I usually prefer representational art, but the vivid colors grabbed my attention.
