Sneak Preview #4...And help from an Art Friend

Saturday afternoon I finished up all the framing and wiring and delivered 24 pieces of art to the Weyrich Gallery for my exhibit "In a Japanese Garden, Revisited.". Ahhhhhh....now I can relax a bit until this Friday evening's opening from 5-8:30pm.

Although most colors in the pink family are not ones I use very often, I love the color of the background on this painting. It's called Persian Rose, a Williamsburg Handmade Oil pigment made by Golden Paints. 

But when I was deciding which hue to choose, I thought of my friend Annabelle Meacham, an artist who lives and works in Memphis, TN. Annabelle is a bold colorist, and it came to my mind, "What color would Annabelle choose?" I grabbed the Persian Rose and painted it in. Perfect! 

Thank you, Annabelle, for being an inspiration for this painting!
