Paint Party Friday - Big Vase


I did a greeting card in acrylic (5 1/2"h x  4 1/4"w) entitled 'Big Vase'. I saw this vignette in a store at the mall and decided to paint it. The vase was at least 4 feet high with a couple of giant tulips inside it. I think the turquoise side table beside it added a nice touch.

Linking to Paint Party Friday.

    Love the turquoise it intensifies the yellow, they say less is more and you are a master at it.
