Here's my third finished acrylic painting. With this one I wanted to focus and experiment with strong color options. I wanted a warm romantic Tuscan type of a feel in this painting.
We have a warm red candle, olive green bottle and the comfortable blue night sky. The scene is bathed in gold and rich wood tones from the base color to the reflective detailed stem of the wine glass. I designed the arrangement to create interest and a flow. I wanted the glass to grab your eye as the focus is stripped away by the strong glow of the flame of the candle. Then you're focus is dragged down to the well detailed metal cork screw. This way you are easily lead through the entire painting.
I got the inspiration for this painting from a beachside restaurant. I wanted a romantic setting with some level of difficulty and detail to push me creatively in tackling this medium. I gave it some thought and decided to add the grapes and ocean fading into the background. I like the rough texture of the wood contrasted with the soft glow of the candle. Once I decided on the painting I picked out my objects and set them up.
