Big
This painting is real big - 24 x 36 inches big.
It's for sale for £150 + P&P.
I'm bringing it to the party - that's Paint Party Friday - but I promise it will behave and not get drunk and chat up the best looking men. It's just gonna hang out on the wall and observe. OK?
I think I'd like to go to a party where all the guests turn up with a painting instead of a partner. They might not leave with the same painting, but it's unlikely to end in divorce. Though maybe a small dose of regret.
I will miss this painting when it goes, although there is a raspberry pink stain on the patio where the drips missed the newspaper that will serve as reminder. That and the vandyke brown down my fingernails which appears to require a chisel to remove...
This painting has its eye on an owner with mushroom walls. It wants to hang over a fireplace or strategically placed on a feature wall. It has a warm and welcoming personality with a hint of the exotic. It enjoys a nice hot curry and the kind of music that makes your hips wiggle. Will you invite it into your home?

I love this post - the way you've described your painting as if its some kind of blind date partner you're setting your friend up with!! Brilliant -and that sounds like a fabulous kind of party to me too (maybe Kat's liberate your art postcard swap is like an airmail version of that!)

I love the idea of a party where people turn up with paintings... I think we should organise one... this is a great piece and it would look kind of special on a mushroom pink wall... xx
ReplyDeleteWe had Curry last night, and I have gypsy pink walls in my living room and above my fireplace...but unfortunately I have a large piece there already!! However I do love it so much!!!

Love the colours in your painting and love your comments, the idea of a paint party sounds great
ReplyDeleteI so love that all your Paintings, even abstract ones have personalities, i think this one is more fun at a party than i am!
ReplyDeleteThis one is a beauty! I love the idea of the raspberry reminder on the patio - so even though she will be gone, she will not be forgotten. Happy PPF
