Fishing - Paint Over

Here's my last Instagram story. 

I thought I'd share it here for those of you who aren't 'into' Instagram. 

I bought this lovely red glass fishing float over the holidays. It's a tough object to pair this another still life object but somehow this little fish made the cut. 

So, I had this pink haired portrait but it just didn't have enough 'oomph'. (I may try painting it in oil again.) In the meantime...

 HERE'S THE FINAL PAINTING ; )

6x6" original oil painting

Paint Over!

SOLD -  8x8" original gouache painting.

This second picture is of an old watercolour painting. I didn't like the charcoal lines, the lost shapes in the flowers or the boring flat red of the strawberries. So, I painted over it with gouache, which was a pleasure since the drawing was all done for me! The flowers ended up pink... I keep getting a lot of pink in my gouache paintings. Not sure why. Oh, I guess I'm using too much red. Haha.
