Interior Montage

Here is my latest creation.    I have combined   a few of my favorite things.   The painting within my painting is taken from  Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres,” La Grand Odalisque”.  I have always admired this painting perhaps because of the lovely use of color and fabrics against the cream flesh tones of the woman.  (I also learned  that she is part of a harem:)  It was the starting point for my painting.    The wallpaper is adapted from a common  reinassance period  decorative design.  I enjoy creating an outdoor world along with my interior scenes.   Thanks for taking a look.

Thinking Of What Sarah Said.

Don't ask me why I am using this title. I do love Death Cab for Cutie.  This song was playing at one point when I was painting.  I guess that explains it!  Not ready for more snow tomorrow.   I feel badly for seniors especially.  My mom can't really get out in  this weather.  Good thing she has six daughters and one son to  keep her busy with phone calls and visits. This painting is 8x10 painted on stretched canvas.  For sale in my Etsy Shop.
