Gloria J Zucaro's "Amanda Day 2014"

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter or Passover celebration with family and friends. Here is our Easter table before the celebration began.  Linking with Paint Party Friday.

Zentangle for Earth Day.

 

This week "The Diva" reminded us that it is once again time for our Earth Day tangle. I have used several Zentangle designs to show the earth's diversity. 

Have a wonderful week and don't forget to visit the other artist's sites for a full array of tangled creations.  And all the wonderful artwork at Paint Party Friday.

Ink on Watercolor card-stock.

Gloria J Zucaro's "Fall Table"

This is another painting that I reworked today.  I am on a roll now!  As time goes along your skills improve as long as you keep practicing and learning.  

Since I didn't post the "before" painting of my "Golden Opportunity"  with the crow and pumpkin, I  will show you this painting previous to changes.  I had a few people who requested seeing both before and after.  I think I will also post this one to Jenn's The Artist Playroom.

Be sure to see what the other participating artists have done this week.

This painting is an original oil on stretched canvas 10"H and 20"L

(and already framed, before I started the redux).

Below is the "Before" somewhat blurry photo.

As you can see, way too much green, too much coolness in temperature.  In my "new" version I added turquoise, violet, red, Alizarin, Caribbean Blue and placed them in more impressionistic strokes. I also added some warm into the background area to merge the top and bottom areas of the painting.

The Daily Paintworks challenge this week is to use a reference picture to form your own group of people from all the subjects in the reference crowd scene.  I changed the scene by eliminating the umbrellas, and putting people from three different tables together.  I brought the windows and flower boxes down to the lower level of the building. 

These ladies needed to get off their feet after a day of sight seeing!  "Cheers!"
