This was very exciting for me. I entered two paintings. 1.) Hollyhocks at the Mission (San Juan) and Market Day. (Mendocino) And guess what? They were both accepted into the show! So yesterday was the last day of the show ~ it started in April and I picked them both up today.
Keep in mind that these are photos of the work and don't really do the actual piece justice.
I put these on my computer.
'Market Day' looks a little different now, in that I toned down the Mom's jacket and her daughter's sweatshirt. They just seemed to stand out too much and take away from the whole picture. So now the finished painting takes you 'into' the market day. It was cool and overcast that day. I had a lot of fun with this and it is a rather 'tight' painting, where 'Hollyhocks' is much more loose. I painted 'Hollyhocks' at the San Juan Mission. This is inside the mission looking towards the entrance.
