Warm Light Effects by Pamela Blaies

Baby's Breath in a Blue Bottle with Lemons

24" x 20"

Oil on Canvas

This blue bottle has been fun to paint. I love the way light flows through it, subtly illuminating the beautiful deep blue and throwing colorful shadows, and how it reflects colors around it. I paired it with yellow lemons on a white napkin, but didn't want to give it a stark contrast. So I bathed the setting in warm light which softened the look just perfectly for me. Sitting on a worn, old table against the wall gives it a Tuscan feeling.    Ciao!

Giving Back by Pamela Blaies

DONATED

This will be my first time to exhibit in the 2012 Bayou City Memorial Park Art Festival and I'm looking forward to it. I've heard so many wonderful things about the organization and the art community in the Houston area. They host a fundraising event called Sunday in the Art, where they offer artworks only from the selected artists exhibiting in the festival. I created this piece especially to donate to this affair - it feels good to give back a little and help to support the arts.
