In A Cup by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

In a Cup by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

While painting today I found a photo of this little cup with beautiful purple miniature roses. I tried to keep it loose and fun. I think that is exactly what I achieved. 6x6 oil on canvas panel.

So I usually try to keep the post on my blog upbeat and positive but on this one I don't know if I can hold to my standard. This little painting sold as soon as it posted. I was so delighted and shipped it right away. A few days later the client notified me that she was just not happy with the painting. The first photo is the original that posted the second one I washed out in photo shop to show you the differences in computer monitors. When I photograph my paintings I try not to retouch very much except to lighten at times but even so oft times I do have a hard time getting an exact likeness. Anyway I know it shouldn't but it felt like a real kick in the gut. I am a little down right now and wonder if I should change my style or just keep trudging along. I attended a workshop with Qiang-Huang recently and did learn some very valuable information which I will be trying to incorporate into my work to some degree. I guess sometimes it takes a little stumble to make us get up, wipe our self off and with determination keep straight ahead. I suppose that is what I will do.

Another from the pictures of my roses in that Sliced Peach Can. I have also

that it would come in handy for something.

Little Blossoms by Angela Sullivan

Lately I have been thinking that I miss writing those funny little stories that I used to post with each

painting soooooo.......

We started out on a bush in the sun. there we were one day just minding our own business when one by one we were gently removed from the mother bush. Not knowing our fate we all said our prayers of course. What else could we do? We were all tenderly placed in a basket and carried inside far beyond the reach of the suns warm rays. Afraid we shivered as one by one we were removed from the basket. Tender hands held us as each of us were made to feel like the only rose in the whole wide world. Lovingly we were placed in this cup but not just any cup. The cup was special also. It was held in the feeble hands of a grandmother. A grandmother who is now only a memory. As this granddaughter looks at us now she remembers and smiles and is oh so pleased. Happy we are just knowing that today we made someone smile. Today a day that started out like any other but this day is different this day ended in happiness.
