I want one!

This painting was a lot of fun. A lovely friend asked me awhile ago to paint her something for her apartment. She didn’t care how big it was, but she wanted it to be abstract. What a perfect request! You’d think that with such wide-open options, I’d have it done in no time. But no. It took me quite awhile to get it together.
I finished her painting over the weekend and put the hardware on it last night. She tells me she loves it. I believe her. But I must confess that if she was not a big fan of this one, I would have been happy to have it hanging around our place.
The photo below is pretty true to the painting, except that the parts that look sort of medium-yellow are actually gold. So you may have to squint and imagine a bit of shine on those parts. (Now you see it, right?) The center of the painting is fabric. In fact, I found this fabric shortly after finding the yellow fabric I used for “Yellow Slicker” and I used it similarly. This stuff seems to do well with paint. I realize this characteristic is probably not one that the textile folks considered, but I definitely appreciate it.
