Gloria J Zucaro's "Slightly-Off White House"

5"H x 7"W Original Pastel on pastel board
$65.00 unframed/$10.00 S&H
Framing Options, see tab above

This week, Carol Marine threw a curve ball!  Her prompt is to go to the link for interior rooms of the White House and pick a scene using any angle of the room you wish. Well, the phrase about using "any angle" is what intrigued me.  So I walked through the lovely, historical but very impersonal and cold,in feeling,rooms that are open to the public. I finally found a room with some colors I love,greens,rose and blue. I picked that room but couldn't decide how to paint it until I went at an odd angle. It included the rosy arm chair, the flower arrangement, a lamp with the light on and a carpet.  No political comment intended.  That's it!  I am way late for Paint Party Friday this week!  A lot of "stuff" going on today since 5AM!  All week for that matter!  I hope you all have a good weekend and check all the artists websites to see what they accomplished this week. Happy PPF!
