So easy to find examples of blue ... it's a go to color for me, one I never get tired of mixing. Mostly use Phthalo and Ultramarine blue. All of these images are found in my catalog M.Lehrer-Plansky 2008-2012. For more examples of "Blue" go to
Jennifer Coyne Qudeen and
Julie Booth and enjoy the search for Roy G Biv Day!!
These are great!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Connie Rose!
DeleteI love these pieces! I must admit that, though I do like certain shades, blue is my least favorite color...yet I I find these collage-paintings absolutely beautiful. (Maybe it's the pairing of blues with oranges & greens?) In any case, your love of blue certainly seems to come out in these!
ReplyDeleteArzigogolare, It's amazing how we all find our favorite colors. I've never painted walls blue but I do like to wear or paint with blue and yes blue works best paired with oranges and greens!
Deletepure delight for my eyes
ReplyDeleteSuz, Glad these favorites blue ones gave you a smile!
Deleteand they are all stunning... I went thru a blue period, but came back to neutrals, they ... calm me down, I guess!! it is great to see your work together... they are all relatives..
ReplyDeleteCaterina, My family of blues next to family of most colors. I love the mixing and combining. I do admit to the calming down factor to neutrals.Its all good!
DeleteI love the subtlety of the blues in your works, especially in the two 'Sacred Vessels' pieces and also in the last 'Space Myth' ... what a great title that is for a series of work.
ReplyDeleteCharlton Stitcher, Thank you so much. The 'Space Myth' series was a rich and personal development as I have always been fascinated with outer space and the ancient myths that connect us to so many of the planets and moon and stars.
DeleteI love seeing all of this blue work! Even though they're from different series, the color combinations and even the shapes echo each other and work together so well... Happy blues to you!
ReplyDeleteSharmon, Thank you, this blue searching was easy for me ... not so sure about indigo but I have a month to look around. I love your blue photos!
Deletewonderful blues. thanks for gathering them together. I find blue hard to use myself. yet now I have determined with my white hair I just want to wear blues and white.
DeleteSuki, Thank you. I think white hair is a true blank canvas ... great to wear pastels and striking to wear reds or blacks! White is nice too!
DeleteYour first painting is a show stopper! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jill, This piece was a key one in a series about 'direction' both personal and artistic. I also went back to collographs to create the compass so it is always special to me.
DeleteBlue is obviously good for you and I also love your earthy palette.
