Artistic Concepts by Carolyn

Daily blog of art in progress by Carolyn Needleman with personal comments by the artist. I primarily work in oil, because I enjoy the rich texture and buttery feel of the oil as I paint. You can manipulate oil to create color excitement, drama, mood and texture in a painting. There is a pleasure in creating a work of art from first draft to finished project that excites me and fills my fundamental need to create.

April 4, 2006

Today has been a joyful painting experience. Work on the new still life is progressing nicely.

I worked on the folds of the table cloth today. The folds seemed to paint themselves. I have finally been able to get the right mixture of green to render the leaves correctly. I am pleased with the end result.

The painting is coming along as I visualize it. But a name for the painting is eluding me...what to call it?
