The Three little figs on broadway by Linda Young artist
10-1/4 x 14-1/4"
Watercolor
I wanted to paint the figs in watercolor after doing them in pastel; but had a lot of difficulty with it for one reason or another.
So, late very last night, I continued to work on it and eventually my imagination got the best of me! 'Quite possibly', I thought, 'these "three little three figs" could be standing on a Broadway stage singing their hearts out to a live audience'. The background became bright stage lights and the table was now their stage. Suddenly, they took on a life of their own getting eyes and mouths. Oh yes, they were now real crowd pleasers.
Whether you feel they are crowd pleasers or not, it doesn't matter. All I know is I had fun getting carried away and letting an exaggerated imagination take over to finish this piece.
Strange things happen in the wee hours of the morning! It makes me smile, regardless.
I wonder though; would one say, for good luck to these broadway performers, "break a stem"?
