Seashell
11x7 watercolor
I painted this in response to a fellow blogger's August Challenge. Jean Haines posted a photo of this shell and challenged artists to paint it in their own way. Here is my interpretation. I enjoy doing these challenges sometimes because I don't have a personal attachment to the subject I guess. This gives me the freedom to do whatever I want while painting. I really enjoyed doing the background and trying different techniques that I usually don't use.
You did so well on this, wonderful interpretation!Did you get a crit on it? I wonder why I never see Jean's posts any longer. I will have to re-list her!
ReplyDeleteThis is a real treasure! Beautiful colours and beautifully painted. What a lovely subject shells make, don't they? But not easy! :0)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I have this on my drawing board to do tonight! Love your interpretation, I'm afraid mine will be more literal.
ReplyDeleteHi Liana, its a beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteNice job, Liana. I'm giving it a try, too.
ReplyDeleteI loved it Liana.. The background is really very energetic and the shell has certain flowing shapes on it adding to the overall energy.
ReplyDeleteIt is stunning Liana! I am working on my version too:) Have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments. I can't wait to see yours if you are working on this challenge. Please post it on your blog, I would love to see how they all come out.
ReplyDeleteAh--I recognize it from her image the other day--lovely, Liana!!! Take a bow.
