American Goldfinch 15 x 18 December 1, 1995 |
Ron's
portrait of the American goldfinch is a variation to the
birdie-on-a-branch subject matter that amateur artists like to paint.
The painting was created to complement his mother's porcelain goldfinch
that she displayed in her living room. Ron added the pink and orange
roses so that the hues would join together with the yellow bird in
creating a composition of color. The bright colors and their
relationship with each other became the main interest, placing the bird
as a secondary element. You can buy a framed or unframed poster of this painting in various sizes at Ron Marlett's Store Return to Gallery |
