The second commission from Melissa Robinson was Melissa's granddaughter
Tiffany. Melissa sent Ron a studio photograph of her granddaughter
along with a list of things she would like to have in the painting. Ron
organized all the elements into a composition that framed in the main
subject matter. One interesting area of the painting is the blue sky.
As the blue color approaches the figure, the hue gradually changes from
dark to light. The light blue creates a stronger contrast between the
figure and the background. The dark blue color gives added weight to
the arbor, which frames in the figure and causes the viewer's eyes to
focus on the figure's face. Another element that Ron incorporated into
the composition is the yellow butterflies that are used to complete the
circle of flowers. Return to Gallery |
