Framed Gouache Painting "Yucca Shade"
Sale Price:$50.00 Original Price:$150.00
Framed, purple and lavender, 11" x 14" painting, "Yucca Shade" shows a group of yucca trees at high noon, with a peacock resting in their shadows. The peacock's long-necked silhouette in the trees camouflages him in the shade, but his tail is a spectacle as it unfolds out of the shadows. He is who he is, after all, hot or not.
The monochrome treatment simplifies the image into a value study, which, when combined with the depiction of classic, California flora; evokes an illustrative, "home sweet home" nostalgia.
Gouache on hot-press watercolor paper, the painting fits an 11" x 14"" frame.
