54th National Exhibition Dreamweavers

GINGER WHELLOCK RED WINE

I set this still life up as a challenge to paint with red as seen in bright light, shadow, half light, transparency, and reflection. I mixed hundreds of reds to represent ancient dye of an Indian rug, red wine, ceramic glaze, worn cover of an old book, faded stain on old wood and dark shadows of space.

Did I succeed?
