Software Abode-6x8-oil on c.b.


First to contact me by email with $49 wins this one.

Was scrounging around for something to paint when i saw these software boxes on my shelf. i loved the lime-green box and blue color combo. so i set it up and grabbed a green dishtowel for the background and some blue cloth for the foreground. keeping a few dominant colors going in a painting (not just still life) keeps unity and cohesiveness in the piece. try not to have tons of non-related colors all over the painting.
this piece is simple but has a strength i think , because of this principal.
