Blues
Thanks, Jeanine
Yes, there are blues in the photo. This was taken outdoors backed on two sides by a wall of bamboo that does not show, and a blue sky above. They're lousy photos compared to what others have been showing. I didn't transfer the blue to the interior setting. The entire room where the cabinets are is fir wainscoting up to a height of 66" and there are fir beams that form a coffered ceiling. I tried to keep everything warm because I couldn't rationalize any cool reflections from all the warm wood in there. It looks like I overdid it some.
The comments and suggestions have been terrific, haven't they?
I've got another painting of Kim that I'm going to post eventually. Before that, I've got one of a different subject that I started while I was finishing this painting and finished after I'd started the second Kim painting. Confusing? Anyway, the background/narrative elements get more prominent in the ones to follow. I'm also buying Chris Saper's skin tones book!
