Zinnias in Pewter Pitcher, by Eleanor Erickson Hargrave


Zinnias in Pewter Pitcher, 14" x 10", Watercolor. Custom matting, framed in weathered gray wood, 23"x 19" (outside meas.). The day I painted this watercolor I walked to the very back of my yard to fetch a bunch of zinnias. I love those vibrant rich colors, but no more so that the pale blush underside of the blooms. I like a push/pull effect to lend excitement in a painting. If it were all simply bright it would lose something in my opinion. The pewter pitcher is a beautiful piece which I have long enjoyed. I hope you enjoy it for your own reasons too. The price is $400 and if you are interested in purchasing it, please contact me at arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net Thank you, Eleanor Visit my latest paintings on my personal blog. www.elliesartblog.blogspot.com
