30/30 January Challenge #10
My last painting was inspired by a suggestion from a blogging friend and today's was suggested by a Goggle+ friend. At this rate, I won't have to do any thinking for myself - lol.
Diane suggested that a dark blue edge around the black and white flowers would look interesting. I admit that I got a bit carried away and maybe added too much blue but I don't mind the effect I achieved. I also decided to go with a rectangular mat this time as I find the ovals harder to cut but, again, I don't mind the look.

I think it is perfect Val :) Draws your eye in on the subject :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila. I am glad you say that as I was concerned that it detracted from the subject but I guess not - thanks again.
DeleteThe blue caresses the flower. Nice addition!!! Your friend had a good suggestion.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan. I like the concept of the blue caressing the flower - makes it sound more interesting.
DeleteWell lucky you, but we know your mind never shuts off and is always thinking. What color blue are you using. It sure does make the black/white pop. It adds color, but doesn't. Hope to see you take this further.
ReplyDeleteI am lucky in my friends Nelvia, both on-line and in person. As to the colour of blue,it is either Ultramarine or cobalt - my go-to colours - but I can't remember which. I might play with this concept a bit more but for now I have a couple of other things on the go - stay tuned!
DeleteI don't think you went too much with the blue. In fact it's softness really makes the flowers pop. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurie, your opinion and those of the others means a lot. I will stop looking at the painting and seeing a mistake.
