An unfinished book

oil on board 7"x5"
This one was painted for DPW challenge;we had to paint something with the color "tangerine" called    the  2012 color by Pantone.It took me ages to find 1-my subject 2-how to show it.Of course, I could have taken a blue cloth and paint it in the right color, but I knew I had this tee-shirt in my wardrobe, worn for a long time.But where to put it, and so on?At the end, a Regency dining-room chair suited me-my husband is fond of antique English chairs-I painted it more quickly than my other still lifes;maybe the reason is I love the interiors;each time I watch one painted on a blog, I think that  I'd like to do something like that!
So, there is my first piece of interior, and I am quite satisfied, even if I see some improvements to do.(on another canvas).

    Sylviane, the abundant challenges around do keep you quite busy and I see that your art is getting better and better. Bravo! I love the way you painted le carrelage and the chair. It's very nice!
    PS: I already figured out my problem with comments. I have innocently unchecked "cookies" and Google could not accept my comments before. It is such a good feeling to solve your own problem, c'est un grand soulagement!:-)

    Hello Sylviane. I like your painting very much. Your red shirt is very nice but most of all I like the red/brown tiles! Very beautiful!

    You have good reason to be satisfied with this interior ...Its just lovely. I love how you answered the challenge by thinking through what to paint. Having the warmth of the tiles, shirt and the chair with the warm pattern on the seat cushion all tie it together in front of the cool background makes this just pop!

    I love interiors, too. This one is great. Wonderful job on the chair, and the tangerine shirt add a wonderful pop of color. Well done!

    Hola Sylviane, estoy feliz por este encuentro casual tuyo que ahora me trae hasta aquí; lo encuentro encantador. Acabo de echar un vistazo a las últimas entradas de tu blog y me gustan, sobre todo la que has tomado como modelo a Fantin-Latour y la titulada In Balance.Espero que podamos compartir e intercambiar comentarios e ideas.
    Te dejo el comentario en español para que practiques, pero si lo prefieres, lo haré en francés, siempre que excuses mis faltas.
    Abrazos
