Mary Opat Art: May 2015

Sunday, May 31, 2015

I started this painting yesterday and finished it up this morning. It's a

11" x 14" on gallery wrapped canvas. I'll be posting it to my website

Mary Opat Art as soon as I come up with a name for it. I'm going to

paint the edges and let it dry, hoping to have it ready for the Twilight

Art Boutique on Saturday at the Queen Creek Olive Mill. Have a

wonderful day!

I started this Arizona Landscape yesterday and continued working on it today.

I'll need to let it dry for a couple of days, since the oil paint is getting tacky.

I'm planning on adding another bush in the lower right hand corner

and will be adding a little warm color on the ground behind the tree, along

with final shadows and highlights.

Tomorrow I'll be painting walls at the Artisan Village of Coolidge .

A worthwhile project that you'll be hearing more about as the

project develops!

"Roses and Prims" Contemporary Still Life Floral Painting by

Arizona Artist Mary Opat

30" x 40" Oil on Stretched Canvas

Although I painted this one with a particular show in mind and have it

available for purchase on my website, it looks quite nice hanging in my bedroom!

I think I'm attracted to the play of light and shadows on the table as well

as the contrast of strait lines to the rounded curves of the flowers and glass vase.
