I painted this a few weeks ago to prepare for the workshop I was giving on painting flowers & glass. There was really only one goldfish in the bowl, but I took the goldfish out of another photo using Adobe Photoshop, re-shaped it to look like it was in this bowl, and pasted it in. Then I printed the photo and used it as my reference. It turned out to be a good solution to the problem of having a photo with a poorly defined focal point.
Now it's time to pick something new to paint. I've got to do an abstract painting for a group show at Viewpoints Gallery in Los Altos, CA in January. That should be interesting considering how realistic I paint! Wish me luck.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I love this painting. Wish I knew how to use Photoshop. Is it hard to learn. Looking forward to your visit to Texas next fall.

ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen, I just found your blog. This is a wonderful painting, cleverly resolved. Love the colors. What size is it?

Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteThought you should know that when I clicked on this photo to look at it more closely, it automatically downloaded onto my computer. (YIKES!)
I really love your watercolors...
