Cannas #10 - "Crayola Colours"
30" x 30"
Acrylic on Canvas
Canna #10 is a painting that I started as a demonstration at a workshop for the Oak Bay Art Group. It looks quite different now.
It was an exercise in showing the members how I use acrylics paints. After the two hour demo, it was roughed-in and the basic values laid down, but when it came home, it sat in my studio for a few months as I worked on other things. Finally the time came to put it back on the easel and it was at that point that the painting began to take on a life of it's own. When I was young I would always gravitate to the same colours in the box of Crayola Pencil Crayons. Peacock blue, lime green, mint green, coral, magenta, red and purple. When I looked at this painting it brought back all of the memories of those wonderful days.
