Tangerine And Open Rose 11x14 oil
I will keep this pretty short, for today, as I am a little tired. Three days of intense study, painting, laughing and joking, meeting new friends and driving in a blinding ice and snow storm, has this gal a little worn out....but happy. I love this painting I just completed! I am thrilled I made it home both nights in a storm! And really happy to have been invited to paint with some wonderful ladies I have just met! Lots of info to tell you all....especially how Jeff works, the lessons I personally learned and some of the fun things we talked about, did, or thought of!
So for now I hope you like this piece...I need to do some work around the house, cook (since I have not done so for three days), shovel off the snow if I need to and just plain relax!!
Loving Life,
Theresa

The rich, deep colors of this piece remind me of the old masters. Your rendering and the composition are super. I will definitely be watching for more of your work.
The light you captured in the orange is amazing! You should be very proud, this painting turned out so beautifully!
And I am totally jealous that you just took a workshop from Jeff Legg. His still lifes are awe inspiring. I can't wait to read more about his process and what you took away from the workshop.
Hi, T...
The painting is gorgeous! Love the contrast! Can see Jeff's influence, but your stubborn, lovely style, too! I'm so jealous I missed that workshop! Looks like you certainly made the most of it! And good for you! Love, L
Stunning of course! And just like how I judge movies, I love it when the star is as impressive as their supporting actor(s), then I step back an digest the whole picture and determine it's good eatins! The colors are also delicious! And it still reads as a Rankin ;)
STUNNING, as always. I am in awe of your abilities!
Wow, such wonderful lights and darks. (chiaroscuro?) It's absolutely breathtaking!
Hi Theresa,
This is magnificent -- that orange just pops out and almost walks away. The grapes are perfect. I love the red reflected light on their undersides.
Take care,
