"Heart on a Stick" $75
Watercolor and Collage 7" x 10" |
"Heart on a Stick" started out as a scavenger hunt. I cut out words from a magazine and even though I cut off the top and the bottom of the word, "Scavenger", I could still read it. So, my first title for this was was to be, "Scavenger Hunt". Then as the painting progressed, I saw this heart shape at the top of the long vertical white strip, so I went with it! I love the color combination of this one. My colors were Holbein opera pink, Winsor Newton cad yellow, scarlet lake, permanent rose, Holbein cobalt turquoise light. I love the vibration of the turquoise against the red and orange colors. Below is the first stage of this painting. If you look closely behind the heart area on the finished painting, you might even imagine the word, Love. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
