Pat Elliott Paintings: Hanging Around

Monday, 5 March 2012

Hanging Around

I made a Title Challenge over at Painting Friends, giving everyone the two words "Hanging Around."
The idea is to come up with your own painting that will somehow fit these words.
Feel free to try one yourself, if you'd like :)

Here's my version:

Hanging Around

Arches 140 Rough

6x11 inches

Floriana Quaini said...: Ciao Pat, here in Milan, now is raining so your subject is good
for our situation. I look your work and I think that a dress can inspire the imagination of a man or a woman whose go around and around in the day or in the night...
Very , very nice.

Hillbilly Tonya said...: Your painting challenges could be quilt challenges. I'll have to think about what I would do if I could find the time.; 5 March 2012 19:21

Prabal said...: Using cute for art work may not be apt. But I have to use it here.
It is just so cute. :); 5 March 2012 23:53
Barbra Joan said...: Good title not to mention the painting.. Love both ! BJ; 6 March 2012 06:36
Sandra said...: I love simple little studies like this. It's well done too :0) Sometimes I find that dropping other colours in to the wash when wet can create all sorts of added interest too.; 6 March 2012 06:46
Pat said...: Thanks, everyone :)
Glad you liked the painting. It just shows that ordinary household things can make for paintings - and cute ones too :) :)
