Artists' Gallery
Did you recognize this as another painting from that same photograph? This is actually a greeting card I did about a year before the large painting. As the instructor at my art class pointed out, it’s quite a bit darker than the photo. The background, especially, is too dark, but I like the depth it creates. I kept putting on more and more of the pure paint color to try to lighten it up; I later realized you add white to the paint to get the lighter shades. And lighter shades make all the difference in a painting!

Looks like a real card you might find at the store. Nice job.
