I thought that the light was beautiful hitting the flowers. I glazed many coats of Alizarin Crimson in order to get the translucency of the light as it illuminated the flowers.

Red & Blue Marbles 8 x 8

I love the glass spheres and the contrast between light and dark / gray and bright colors that marbles give. I bought these marbles on ebay it is very hard to find red cats eye marbles why I don’t know. But after buying the marbles I wanted to use just one red marble as the focal point and have the four blue marbles surround the red causing a circular motion around the main marble.

I need to give marbles a rest for a while this is the 4th painting I have done using marbles I am sure that sometime in the future I’ll be painting them again but right now they need to rest.

Yellow Tulip 8 x 8

I loved the light, the colors, and the transparency of the pedals. I was excited about trying to capture the shades of yellow, which are both delicate and strong at the same time. Tulips come up in the garden as one of the first signs of spring and warm weather. We all like new beginnings.

Right now as I sit in Washington DC I am snowed in for the 4th day in a row. Fresh flowers would be a real step in the right direction and a promise of better things ahead.

Offerings: 14 x 14 Red Blue and Yellow Marbles in Martini Glass

Offerings by Dennis Crayon

14" x 14

Oil on Panel

This is first painting about the three primary colors. I wanted to make a small altarpiece offering the three primary colors back to the God that offered them to me. I used martini glasses as a form of contemporary challises. I enjoyed playing with imagery of both my youth and adulthood. This piece was juried into the 2009 Salon International at the Greenhouse Gallery
