Near the Rialto, Oil 6" x 8"I did this quick little study in preparation for a larger painting. I am painting much larger pieces this month as I get ready for the show at Gale's restaurant in July. Having fun but it is exhausting!
Clint Watson featured Marian Fortunati and "yours truly" in his newsletter today. Click here to read!
I like your loose and thick painting style. Very nice painting.
ReplyDeleteI've just discovered your blog and am really enjoying your work and writing. Really well done!
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are so wonderfully expressive. When I think of Pasadena, I think of my grandparents who lived there in the 1930s and '40s. Guess it's changed a bit...way before our generation, but a beautiful area.
Best wishes with the upcoming exhibit. I'm sure it will be a great success.
Thanks Melinda. You are so kind to visit and leave a comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteLove the composition..just the tops of the building. Another great piece!
ReplyDeletewow the palcement of the signage here is intersting and unusual! I really like the composition on this one. Very different.
ReplyDeleteLeslie... Did you participate in the CAC Rialto/ SoPas paint out and show last year?? It was great.
ReplyDeleteI think they'll do it again in the fall. This would fit right in.
Marian - I really wanted to participate but I was out of town. I will be there this year unless we are up north watching our oldest swim!
ReplyDeleteHow many paintings will you be having in the show? Are you framing, or do they not need frames?
ReplyDeleteThe newsletter thing - I'm on it!! And, this painting is another design champ of yours. You have the best sense of shape placement. Way to go - in all respects!
ReplyDeleteWow, you really have to look at the highres version to appreciate all the knifework here, amazing. Thanks for all the tips, I also subscribed to Clint Watson's newsletter.
ReplyDelete'Really like your colors and composition here, looking forward to the larger version. Congrats on the mention in Clint Watson's newsletter and to your own. I am looking forward to that as well. 'Hope you have a lovely birthday! You certainly have a great deal to celebrate this month!
ReplyDeleteI like your style, and I'm glad the light is green. Who wants a paitning with a traffic light on red, or yellow?
ReplyDeleteLeslie, Great composition and use of color. Good luck getting ready for the show.
ReplyDeleteVERY NICE WORK LESLIE, THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ADDS GOOD BALANCE I THINK .
