I brought this painting to today's art discussion meeting. The suggested table-topic today was "color temperature".
Many of the paintings that showed up served as good examples for our discussion of "warm and cool"**.
After the meeting Carolyn and I went to Butter's Gallery. The paintings have plenty of room to exist in this big open space.
Here Carolyn is admiring a painting that was painted in reverse on plexiglass.
After going to the Augen, the Froelick and The Contemporary Craft Museum we had lunch at the Davis Street Tavern. Great food in a beautiful space ....and this painting looked exactly right on the main wall. I rounded off the outing by swinging by Dick Blick for some paint and canvases. That was my day.....(pretty good, right?) how was yours??

Your day was amazing! Art art art indeed! Have I seen this painting of yours before? I love the action you've put into the artist (whom I see as yourself), an almost excitement in her that I can feel.
Love this painting, great movement and 'simplicity' .
What a wonderful day! I love the gesture of your painter, a self-portrait perhaps?
What a wonderful group you guys have. Would love to hear more about the warm/cool. I want to be in the group....if only
Beautifully painted, Celeste!! Another wonderful day!!
The paint has beautifull light really great
I like this painting of you. It is you, right?
It was a great day, Celeste...always is with you. I liked that we got in some abstract stuff as well as the plein air and figures. That painting in the Davis St. place was, as you say, perfect for the setting. I am not feeling it was of you...not by you...but sort of "like you." It topped off a lot of good art exposure.
What an outstanding day! Take me along next time.
How simply you paint. No fuss! Beautiful.
What a generous posting. I loved looking at the links. Your painting is such a wonderful example of the power of value. I love the white next to the black. Lovely, loose painting.
