Mellow Yellow


Soft, silken Primrose, fading timelessly
John Milton

She is Primrose of the Fae, born in the Spring, creature of the soft woodland dwelling in among the mossy roots. We haven't captured her playful spirit here, having disturbed her sleep (so she's a bit cross).

Summer of Colour finds us in yellow this week.

I painted Primrose over a collage that looked like this....

    The green and golden yellow work really well together, sweet (though a bit grumpy!) fairy.

    All of it works! The yellow is a breath of fresh air. And somehow exotic! Makes me want to do something in yellow...

    Wow - this series of portraits you are doing is really something. I am so looking forward to seeing the whole group together - and this piece is so beautiful and soulful with beautiful colors. Loved that it came from a recycled piece too. xo

    She does look like you woke her!
    Although, I am a wee bit sad at seeing the bombshell painted over.
    Charcoal pencils are my favorites...ben using them since I was a kid. xox

    Who knew yellow could be so mysterious? I always think of it being so bright and cheerful....but I like how you've created a different feeling here :)
