September 10, 2014: 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge


Red Sky at Morning
6"x6"
Oil and Cold Wax on Oil Paper
mounted on Ampersand panel
$75

Some paintings just cause me to look at them over several days.  This is a perfect example.  I have to study them.  I have moved Red Sky all over the house.  Turned it different directions.  Used different lighting.  Framed.  Unframed.  In the trash can. Out of the trash can.  I finally chose this orientation and realized it is a painting needs a black frame.  Some paintings stand alone and a frame will detract.  The large expanse of red on Red Sky looks wonderful when it is separated from the wall by a simple black frame.

I am happy…..
