Age Old Music 36x24"The theme of the current show at the Cambria Center for the Arts is "Beauty in the Eyes". My entry is Age Old Music. This piece done on red rosin paper and then mounted on canvas features different sized xeroxed copies of Caravaggio's The Lute Player. I used water soluble oil pastels on the faces in several colour combinations and both vertically and horizontally. The blue, white and red palette is one I use often, but the addition of yellow was something different and really "pops".
The show runs through July 31,
every Friday, Saturday and Sunday 11-5.

The yellow really does pop and holds its strength even with the deeper shades...I would not have guessed water-soluble oil pastels.
