Media: Other Acrylic yarn on canvasboard
Size: 8x10 in
This yarn art painting is a copy of an oil painting I did many years ago, and is now with a collector in Pennsylvania. I enjoy painting still life. So it is natural for me to apply oil painting knowledge into creating yarn paintings (without the nuanced aspect of oil paint, of course. This is "play" after all ;-)) You can observe that even in this unusual medium of yarn I am using classic composition ideas in all the yarn paintings. Here I am using the texture of the yarn to create a visual illusion of direction, shape, forma and light. The blanket-weight yarn I am using doesn't allow for small details which is actually good because it is making me focus on effective simplicity. I've long admired and been fascinated by the Huichol yarn paintings of Mexico. My husband's sister Alice is saving yarn scraps for me, providing an unusual "palette" of colors. This piece is framed and ready to hang (that is why the price difference from those yarn paintings that are not framed yet include a hanger.) The easel is NOT included - display suggestion only This yarn art painting is a copy of an oil painting I did many years ago, and is now with a collector in Pennsylvania. I enjoy painting still life.
