days of rain and sun
Coincidentally, I just finished this painting and this week's Illustration Friday theme is "blue". The title is lifted from a line in the Oscar Wilde poem The Garden of Eros.

Yea I have a day off so I get to view IF early.
Your my first post and what a great painting!!
you always have wonderful color combos and texture.
Love the tiled look to your work. awesome!
Another amzing and lovely painting Andrea!!! The balance is interesting and drawns the attention to all that blue (rain?). I love the buried things!
Kind of figured you'd be able to post early this time. Just didn't expect a new painting. I like this one a lot. Great colors (as opposed to colours). :)
Really beautiful. Nice balance of complimentary colors too.
Fabulous... I love your roots. And this is a particularly juicy one! In the large version it almost looks like it dancing its so full of life.
another amazing painting, I think you love blue even more than I do!
These are such perfect shades of blue with the orange of the carrot. I am curious about your recurring use of the tiled divisions. I can clearly see what some of the divisions signify (at least to my eye), but I am wondering if there is another significance (other than beautiful design) that I am missing. Your work has such an iconic, symbolic quality...it seems to examine time, phases, layers, and so on...I'm really curious about the thought process invloved. This is truly beautiful...

Blue can be extremely powerful like here and like water :)
Great illustration!
Blue, my favourite colour!
this is great, that orange carrot against all those shades of blue just makes me want to reach out and touch it.
I like everything about this... composition, colors, textures. Very nice.
I always like your illo. This one is very pretty. You are one artist who know how to apply textures well. The texture in this one gives a fabulous feel to the entire image. Very soothing to look at. :)
MMMMM What's up doc???? Love that carrot!
It is a wonderful painting!
I liked a lot
Only one thing to say - and is not a big deal - I don't recognize what are some elements around and under the carrot - stones? other roots? - ok, is not important...
Wonderful work!
Andrea,
my first posting was erased in some way for blogger (I think) - then I posted a second time at number 252
see you!
Thanks for the feedback. It helps me see things a bit more objectively.
Carla: for a further explanation of the thought processes that inform this work, look for my post of Oct. 6th.
Frank: there are a variety of seeds, nuts, etc., in the painting -- or maybe it's just the abstracted textures you're referring to?
Your work has great texture anda constant earthiness.

nice composition! The break in color looks good!
the blue looks even blue-er with the contrasting carrot..
(there's my carrot!) :)
What a beautiful artworks you make! I was wondering as of to size of your paintings… I haven’t checked in for a while, and it seems I have much catching up to do. Lily.
This has a lovely balance
I just love your artwork. The way you separate the piece into sections that are apart, yet work together. very interesting. And I love Oscar Wilde! When I was in high school I memorized about 30 verses of the Ballad of Reading Gaol.
Beautiful painting!! Love your photo postings too!!
Great painting, you are so freakin talented! I wish I could do that.The orange against the blue makes a great contrast in the painting but I'm sure you know that. :)
Beautiful painting and wonderful expression. I like this onr a lot.
