Mary’s Landscape Art Info

The point of the lesson was to change the shapes seen in a photo.  Stretch some, diminish or eliminate others and come up with an abstract painting.  The attached abstract painting was done from the inspiration of a table set for dinner.  The painting was painted inverted from the way it is shown here.  The original photo showed fish on a platter, a bottle of wine at upper right, two glasses, and a basket with apples in the upper left of the photo.  The tablecloth was white and the background black.

With alterations, the plate became enlarged, the fish became the long pink stripe, the neck of the bottle became the yellow stripe, the wine glasses are now two blue ovals and the basket might still be somewhat recognizable.  The apples are pink circles.  The black circles were added to hide an error, but did add some bling.  Finally, it looked better hanging the way I have posted it!
