I really do mean squeezed! Not that it was a struggle to produce this painting.... it wasn't. It was one of the more fun paintings I have ever done; However, I did manage to work on this piece up until the morning that we moved from Pittsburgh! My timing isn't always what it should be but I do put my all into my work.
The clients were interested in vibrant earthy colors; such as those found in minerals and gems, water and plant life. I drew inspiration from photos of their travels as well as from satellite images of earth, maps and stones I collected. Together all of these ideas came together to create this painting. Let me know what you think! Thanks, Penny

Wow Penny, How intriguing I'm going to need a gallery for a home. I love everything you do and want a copy of them all.
Love, MOM
Hi Penny! You probably don't remember me, I went to Chatham the same year as Hongla and Elizabeth. This is a great painting! I love the how all the shapes, colors, and textures come together in this piece. I think the black spaces really pull everything in. Great job!
Hope Arizona is treating you well.
Thanks for the comments Mel, Mom and Tricia! I am so glad that you like it. I am glad, Tricia that you felt good about the black spaces. I was adamant about keeping those spaces very black -strong and untainted.
Ciao!
Penny
Beautiful! I agree about the black spaces :)
I'm not an artist or an art critic so this may be a weird comment but it looks like it could be interesting to look at it upside down too...
The green looks like a brick path, the blue like a stream going under it... and the sky is black? The flowing greens and light browns on the bottom could be an overhanging tree...
Beautiful job though!
