This painting along with "Late Summer" have been accepted into the Coast Collective Collaboration Show with The Churchill Society, one day only, Oct 29th at The Atrium downtown Victoria.
This is a monotype, I did last June, I didn't blog it because I wasn't crazy about the picture and kept thinking I would take a better one, well it never happened and the painting is now ( along with a few other paintings) at the "Chiropractor for Life" offices in Langford. I did this monotype after driving through the Fraser Valley during twilight, the light was very nostalgic for me, having grown up in the valley.
I tried making baba ghanoush for an event this past week-end, but I ended up not serving it. It didn't look at all like the picture. I am much happier with the painting and I'm glad to say that it will be in the "Food for Thought" Show at the Coast Collective, Sept 21 to Oct 9
It has been a while since I have used watercolour. In this painting I started with transparent watercolour and added white gouache to the backround. The photo does not show it, but I like the contrast, of the opaque look of gouache, and the translucent look of watercolour.
