This week besides refinishing kitchen cabinets, I painted these small color studies inspired by the works of Picasso that are found in this book. I love the book and it is one of my very favorites.

As I painted with a strong focus on color, I tried to pay attention to values more than I usually do. There is also a common theme: they are all seated at a table and they all have coffee cups. I love coffee cups as much as I do chairs.

I also thought about hands and how they seem to be important somehow in art. I realized not too long ago that I am very drawn to figurative art with interesting or strong hands. So I worked on that a little bit.

| Companions acrylic on paper 4 x 6 inch available here |
Besides working on kitchen cabinets and painting Picasso/color studies, I spent time with various companions this week. I watched movies with my husband, had a wonderful conversation over the phone with a special friend, and attended my very first Golden Globe/fondue/birthday party.
I plan to further my Picasso/color studies, but the next round will be with an emphasis on mother/child.
Wish me luck.

ReplyDeleteLove all of these Lisa, especially Companions. You made it your own but still recognizable.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to take on someone like Picasso - he would definitely approve.
it is weird - I thought I had already left a comment

These Picasso-inspired studies are quite beautiful, especially the last two. The composition of that last one with the two people, chairs, coffee cups and table pattern is perfect!
