Back in April I wrote about a friend who visited me and brought me a metal lizard with brightly colored dots on it. Well, the day she came, she wore a blouse that was a pastel derivation of red-orange – I guess that’s how I’d best describe the color. In the course of correspondence she had talked about a blanket she made her grandson. It had bubbles and rubber ducks on it.

Thus you have the visual ingredients for this painting: the background color, bubbles and ducks. I figured combining these elements would be a fun way to remember her visit. Working on the composition took some thought. This was a fun piece to paint.
The duck is adorable. Maybe it's just me, but the circular area in the upper left is reminiscent of a breast.

ReplyDeleteNo breast was intended - just bubbles.

It is so playful and retro, I love it! The dots almost look like soap bubbles from a bath tub.

ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about that, but it reinforces the theme. Thank you for the feedback.
