6x6 Oil on Gessobord
This is my submission to Virtual Paintout. This month we are exploring the Canary Islands. I wanted to do something a little different from landscapes or seascapes. When I saw this yellow truck I knew it was for me. I can see some changes I would make, but overall I am pleased with it. This is really a great challenge and lots of fun. Bill Guffey is the host and he does a fantastic job. Thank you, Bill!!
Oh Linda, i love, this! What a brave streak of yellow....I think I can hear this truck lumbering past me as I look at your work, VERY nice--Mary
ReplyDeleteThis painting gives me the feeling of being in a NY tunnel...well done, Lindaa!
ReplyDeletethat is a great use of your yellow. I like the way you have it intruding onto the painting. Loved your trumpet player several posts back. great red in that painting.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic Linda! You did a wonderful job with that yellow, you really captured the feeling of this yellow truck.

Love that yellow truck! Good for you. Just saw your link on my website and thought I would drop in. Look forward to reading more of your blog entries.
ReplyDeleteI really like this one too. In addition to capturing the odd lighting you also managed to convey movement convincingly. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteThis truck is moving...not sure how you achieved it but it really apears to be whizzing along. I went to the link thinking that I would try the challenge but I couldn't figure it out. You who are computer saavy! Great job
I look at quite a few blogs every night--it is my current habit to do so. THIS is my favorite painting of the day..maybe even for the whole week. It is BRILLIANT on all fronts.
ReplyDeleteLinda, This is a great little painting, beautiful color, nice looseness with lots of movement. Love the lights! More, please!
ReplyDeleteWow! Very bold. Great tonal range. I like that you picked an unusual Canary Island scene, and it's fun that the truck is as yellow as a Tweetie Bird.
ReplyDeleteNice, Linda. I like the directness in design and handling and the strong color statement.
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteI got SO hung up on the scenery in the Canary Islands that I couldn't decide on a painting !!
ReplyDeleteI love that you went for something really different.
This is GREAT!!! It's different AND it's VERY VERY WELL DONE!
