For all the sunshine and butterflies I paint (just kidding about the butterflies) I'm equally drawn to subjects that can be described as "sad". Dark is interesting. It may be confusing that I flip from daisies to despair and back again...but that's me. This marks my 500th post to my blog....thanks for paying attention to my work. It means a lot to me that you do!oil 5x7 gessoed board

500! Congratulations!
I like to see your explorations of all things that interest you -- dark or light, you do it well.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, your process, and your work!
Well, at the rate I'm going I'll get to 500 in about 5 1/2 more years. You've set the bar pretty high, girl...
Cool painting. Did you mean to paint the ominous silhouette walking down a hallway towards a partially hidden doorway? If not, look on her neck. You'll see it... Either way, it adds to the ominous nature of the piece.

thanks Katherine--for hanging with me --I appreciate your friendship!
Don--oh my gosh..no I did not intentionally paint the man/hallway---but I do see it. Thanks for pointing it out. .....That's wild!
Hi Celeste,
comgratulations , the numbers just confirm your dedication to art and the committment to your fellow artist. Quite an unusual piece(dark colors). To me it appears as your self portrait. It was done from memory and you know yourself all your life!
this work .. you reached so good values . i am fascinated .
the change of mood on your work just prove the authenticity and sincerity of your painting and character .
bellissima pintura Celeste !!
Have a great weekend .
500! That's great! You are inspirational to all of us!
Is it a self-portrait? I see something of an interior self here.
Art Spark Susan..almost all my portraits look a little like me. I try to fight that--but sometimes I don't. This was a case of no fight. Thanks for the comment!
I really like this painting. Without the "sad" we probably wouldn't notice the butterflies and sunshine. Don's right about the guy in the hallway--I like when the unexpected shows up.
