Rural Mailboxes
Acrylic on canvas
This is a painting I did while in a painting class in college. Our assignment was to do a "mood" painting from one of our own personal images. This is a row of raggedy old mailboxes (including mine) near my house. I had taken the photo a year or so before I painted them, and chose these warm colors because that was the feeling I got when I took the picture on a sunny afternoon. This painting was actually chosen for publication in the college's award winning Literary and Arts Magazine, "Imprints." I was very flattered to be chosen. The magazine included some really wonderful writings, photographs, digital art, as well as paintings. If you are interested in looking through the magazine, a virtual copy of it can be accessed at http://www.cf.edu/current/imprints/ My painting appears in volume 18.
It's wonderful, and very worthy of being published. Love the bright colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks Monica! I was pretty tickled with it.
