My camera has failed me. It's a nice camera too. No matter how I photographed this painting, my camera would not pick up the purple in the vase. The thin stripes are the correct color, kind of a tealy blue, but the wider stripes are much more purple. I suppose only the winner of this painting will be able to view it accurately.
A friend of mine, Kathleen McElwaine, lent me this vase to paint. She's a fantastic artist herself, and a sweet gal for thinking of me.
