Toffee Tumeric Mango Mojito Painting

The work was inspired while looking at Pantone's fashion industry color report for Spring/Summer 2019. I wanted to capture the image that came to mind when viewing the color "Mango Mojito". Two other colors in the report "Toffee" and "Tumeric" were perfect for the background and tablecloth. The painting is done in oils using a galkyd medium which gives it a shiny appearance and keeps the colors vibrant. The painting is on canvas paper which adds a rustic touch to a modern painting as it has small folds and creases in addition to the canvas-like texture. This paper also makes it more convenient for shipping and increases options for framing.
