A Quiet Place

Close ups

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
This is my submission to the WDE at Wet canvas. The reference photo was graciously supplied by Helen...Thank you Helen!

I went with a photo of patio furniture and then attempted to create an idyllic spot for it to sit in. I tried to imagine sitting in that cool shade while listening to the birds entertaining me.
It was a lot of fun to invent colors and gob on thick paint in spots.
Hope you folks like it.

    Lovely! Looks like an ideal set up for a togetherness to be enjoyed, with the chirping of birds in the back ground..life is so busy that many people end up just with setting it up and not being able to use it at all!

    Je m'inviterais bien à venir m'asseoir et avec une tasse de thé, je passerais un moment charmant dans ce lieu rempli de sérénité...

    So nice Dean. I love how the chair on the left and part of the table have bright light on them, very nice.

    Thanks for stopping by, Padmaja!

    You said:"life is so busy that many people end up just with setting it up and not being able to use it at all!"
    Sad, but very true.
