The Offering

by Erica Lyn Schmidt

This piece was created in February 2018 for the Month of Love ‘White’ prompt.

I approached the ‘White’ theme from three directions: first was the color choice of white for the hummingbirds and the flower being presented. Second, white symbolizes purity with the innocence and bashfulness of the couple. Finally I played around with the effect of being very heavy-handed with white in the color mixing process, which resulted in a ghostly pastel palette that limited the saturation of the colors.

This painting is on a 6″x8″ oval cradled panel. The sides are finished: it comes wired and ready to hang.
