The Hankerchief
Here is the second painting in my textured-panel series. I fussed with this one a lot. And when I fuss, my painting style leans less towards loose brushwork more towards realism. I tried to walk away from it but it kept calling me back! I even doubted posting it for my blog, Facebook and Instagram but the left side of my brain won out, "post everything" it said.
Looking for something to anchor the cherries, bowl and background I found that one of my Mom's vintage hankies worked well. The part that I love the most is the luminous yellow glow within the fold of the hanky... hence the title. Please enjoy "The Light From Within" 2021 5" x 7" © Oil on panel.
