One summer day when I was at the Master Gardeners’ Club gardens in Sequim, WA doing a demonstration and painting, I spotted this scarecrow standing amongst the flowers and plants. With the flower pot head, straw hat, and old gloves, it struck me that it was a perfect “Garden Goddess.”
It is painted with oil in my usual interpretive realism way. I call it a living still life, though it could be called a landscape. My palette of colors was my usual range of blues, reds and yellows. I mix most of my colors from the primary colors. With a soft and somewhat pastel depth of color, it is still bright and cheerful. It is a small painting, only 16 x 12”, painted on gallery wrap canvas. It can be displayed framed or unframed.
It will fit nicely into an arrangement of works, but is strong enough to stand alone.
Painted on gallery wrap canvas with the painting continuing around the sides to the back edges, it can be hung with or without a frame.
It has a protective coating of artist’s varnish
Materials: Oil paints, gallery wrap canvas, artist’s varnish
