Super Skinny Fries Oil Painting by Jennydraws


SUPER SKINNY FRIES 24X30 OIL PAINTING

Im trying something new. Oil paints. They are super fun, buttery and creamy and vibrant.  I love them. This is an analogous  painting, meaning using 3 colors that are next to each other on the color wheel.  I used shades of alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue, and purple.  I thought this appropriate for the theme of this painting.  Americas fascination with being thin and yet eating fast food at the same time.  Notice the super sized diet pills in the left and corner.

The Swan Thieves

I wanted to add to my blog a great book that I have been listening to while I paint or even do housework.
Its called "The Swan Thieves" by Elizabeth Kostova. Click here to see a quick video blog about the book.

If you are a painter, I think you will definitely enjoy reading this or hearing it.
