YELLOW YEARS - MODERN ART #4

"HAPPINESS" is living at Hidden Lake. Those were happy rolling years like beautiful waves when we lived there. This is a colorful modern oil painting that I created when we moved to the model home next door. Like  my favorite artist, Vincent Van Gogh, I was fascinated w/ the color yellow. Yellow is always a color that’s very alive, happy, vibrant and uplifting. The years we lived at Hidden Lake were like “Golden Years” to me. Yellow & gold and synonymous.

I remember there was a long wall on the living room. A perfect space for a BIG and BOLD modern painting like this. I combined yellow w/ ochre, sienna and white. The combination turned out very nicely. 

Below was a photo of our inviting and beautiful living room where we displayed "The Waves."
