“Pink Princess, Foos and Grapes”

“Pink Princess, Foos & Grapes” — oil on canvas 36×36″ by Margie Guyot

When setting this one up, I deliberately chose very complicated fabric for the background. I was sick-to-death of winter and needed something quite challenging to occupy my mind. Of course I could continue pecking away on this one for weeks, but then I’d probably have to be committed.

That plant is a variety of philodendron called “Pink Princess”. I found it at the grocery store. The foo dogs (Foo?) are from an antiques store and the grapes are garage sale plastic. Yay for plastic fruit!

And last – but not least! – is a shot of my dear Picasso, who supervised me every step of the way.
