A Poem & A Painting: Pink Fainting Couch (Day 10)

Today’s painting is serving the dual purpose of being Day 10 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge and my weekly Poem & Painting post. Pink Fainting Couch is the last painting in a Pink Series. I was tickled to take my inspiration from an interior by the incomparable Hunt Slonem whom I had the privilege of meeting at the Boston Design Center when he was introducing his fabric line through Lee Jofa. He is colorful, soulful and indeed a kind and lovely man. It was my pleasure to end this “Pink” series with an interior (of course) and one that features his fabric.

One of the hardest parts of 30 Paintings in 30 Days for me is that I couldn’t take all of the time I wanted with this painting (time restrictions aka real life). The oil paint really needs a day to dry so I could lay in a bit more detail. I hope to go back and add a little more “jazz” at some point.
And of course today’s poem, more like a thought for the day…
“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”
~Audrey Hepburn and Pamela Copeman
