Carnival Days

[arlynnhr]

Hello everybody!

I posted this picture in an "Art Discussion" post because it's one of the paintings I'll be presenting in an art show in October. I had a lot of fun making it and I would like to know what you guys think about it.

It's mixed media: acrylics, oils, and collage. It was inspired in the Carnival of Venice, Italy.

I'm sorry for the picture...I'm not a very good photographer ...

apparently no one has a comment.....I like it A! I like the way you detailed the figures but not the plant life....the thick swirling paints show a lot of boldness on your part...Like you say.."in your face"...I like the character here.....good work!!!

Hey, thanks! I really liked that comment!

I love it. The contrast between the figures and the background is fantastic; you get this great lively mood with the vi
ant colors, and these little dressed-up figures are just getting swept up in it. Fantastic!

Thank you! I'm starting a new one following the same pattern of boldness of color, with lots of texture and feeling. I'll show it as soon as I have it done. I'm very excited because I'm going to experiment with acrylics...hope all goes well!
