Original Creation

The Holiday

Happyisland 23 Apr 2023

This is an 18 by 24 inch canvas, primed with dark lavender and covered in assorted oils. Started with a sketch and then moved to a monochromatic painting before finalizing with colors. Light plays through the window of this painting that the viewer can decide the story on. Composition includes a rose laying on table, complete with morning coffee for two, an orange and an apple. The shades are drawn open as light filters through. A red and crimson drapery is hanging off the table of this sunrise seascape painting.

Super Nice Daniel! It’s not easy to do 3D looking object. You nailed them all!

Hey Daniel , i Never tried something like that but in my eyes , you did a Great Job herr .Hats off 😎How long have you been working on it?

Thank you Nancy and Dirk :) Dirk, to answer your question I gessoed Wednesday night and let it dry. Then on Thursday I used 18 by 24 inch sketch paper and layed down a basic drawing using an actual coffee pot or Kirafe whatever it is called. I sketched the coffee cups. Then I used carbon paper and layed my large sketch over my canvas. Then retraced with a pencil. Then used a fixatif spray. Friday morning I started with my underpainting and monochrome colors. Then piddled with it on Saturday then finished yesterday but I had an idea in my mind ahead of time where I wanted to go with it except the rose was a Sunday idea to add. I don’t wash my brushes until I’m done and so my limit of painting is three days. Preferably two days at a few hours at s time. Otherwise the paint and brushes dry out.

Superb painting. Great!
