Hello there!
I’ve just finished “The Long Goodbye”. You can go ahead and check the painting process in the “The Long Goodbye” photo album at Facebook. You can also email me for them if you don't have a Facebook account.
The story behind the painting:
One of the hardest things to go through in life is letting go of a beloved pet because of a terminal disease or a life threaten injury.
This is the last day these two friends from childhood will spend together. It is indeed a long good bye.
Technical aspects:
I’ve chosen a low key palette to harmonize with the emotional setting. In the final stages I decided to change the bright yellow sky for a gray one. I though the dark horizon with a storm brewing was the perfect symbol of a bad omen.
Exclusive offer for Oscar Ortiz :: The Art Facebook Fans:
For the next two weeks, until November 7th , I want to make this painting available first to my Facebook Fans. The discounted price is $338 (without S&H). That is 25% off the original price ($450.00).
If you're not an Oscar Ortiz::The Art fan you might be missing on a good thing... go ahead and sign up now. The new painting is up for grasp at a discounted price... just for the fans.
If after that date no one shows interest the piece will be tagged with the regular price and placed on my online gallery at www.oscarortiz.com. Eventually prints will be available as well as note cards.
What’s next?
“Spring with my fat gato”… (check the previous blog). I can’t wait to paint that one! A happy painting… yeyyyy!
Creatively yours,
~Oscar
