Peeping Tom

“Peeping Tom” 15.5 x 12″ Oil on Masonite panel $185 SOLD- Thanks, J.E.
I’m disappointed that my camera can’t seem to capture the correct yellows in this painting and it is too big to scan here at home, sooo… I’ll have to re-post it later.
This was an assignment I gave my painting class: to compose a painting using a figure, a table and one other element, paying attention to the distribution of lights and darks and using a complimentary color scheme (meaning colors across from each other on the color wheel). I came up with this example of complimentary yellow and purple and of taking an unusual viewpoint, under the table. Then my imagination just took over.
There was a second part to the assignment which I will post tomorrow…
I like the first one better too. The redo is too “in your face” for me, both in colors and in the change of focus. The earlier “Peeping Tom” had a whimsical, softer feel.
