ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND STYLES
"Traci's Scarlet Bouquet"
Acrylic, Mixed Media,
40"x60" Gallery wrapped canvas
Dining room in Pelican Bay, Naples, Florida
The bottom edge, (table) dark navy blue./raw umber mixed with glaze, painted over a base coat utitlizing many colors in the room. Then I removed it in places to have those colors come through a bit. I kept in mind that you like lines, and like the finished effect. It's a very nice balance to the colors in the boxes.
The final red flowers have yellows, oranges and purple added. I used the cobalt blue to create my greens. I liked the lighter Florida green as the major leaf color. The sample had more dark greens, but with the huge size, I have left them this way. I also dry brushed some teal on top.
I added some berries and a few more leaves to the left side to break up the three large leaves a bit.
It also looks interesting from the side as you enter the room, with some added color there.
I am so happy you like it, and that it is what you had imagined in your space!
I love the contemporary primary color scheme, and the way the painting works with the other pieces in your space.
Thanks!
