Silver Palm Trees Over Sunset

palm tree art painting
Silver Palm Sunset, 11 x 14 inches, mixed media on
canvas, 2015, $300




















Silver Palm Sunset began as a regret. It was a big yellow ball of a sun interrupted only by a weird looking silhouette of some kind of bird all "pasted" onto a semi-interesting background of color dominated by a burgundy red crimson. 

Yes, I HATED it. LOL 

Until I decided that I truly did dislike it and it was time to destroy it. The original description of the painting (ball of sun, etc.) applied since perhaps 2004? I don't remember! Destruction occurred last year with smears of leftover paint onto it. I didn't care what colors were smeared on it. 

One of my sketches is of a palm tree line at the beach. It's based on a photo my friend (almost like little sister) Daimisy sent me. Silver Palm Sunset is based on my sketch of her photo. 

I quite like the mysterious shapes and the now not so obvious ball of sun. LOL

Have you changed a regret yet? What was it? How did you do it? Make your bucket list yet? Do anything on it yet? 

Smiles,
Angeline Marie

Oh yes, my post from yesterday was about a painting that went wrong and how many attempts were needed before it was OK again. Worth the effort, I feel!
