Tiny Pieces by Peni Baker

This is a post about tiny little parts of some of my large paintings.
The first one is a motorcycle from a painting I did called "Blue Shanty" This painting was done from a photo I took in the Dominican Republic while visiting my son. This part of the painting was the most detail and took me the longest time to paint and I believe is probably the most rewarding part of the painting. However, that would be hard to prove. If you look at the entire painting I'm sure you will see what I mean.

The second picture is from my painting "Bougainvillea" Just a tiny little area down by my signature, obviously, but probably my favorite part of the painting.

Third is the face of Ramon. Again, from the "Blue Shanty"

Fourth is a piece of my "Periwinkles" The bloom of the Vinca plant which grows ingeniously here in central and south Florida.

And last but not least is the kitty cat in "Elephant Ears and Kitty".

I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do.

Thank you.

Blue Shanty by Peni Baker

16" x 20" acrylic canvas gallery wrap.
I was inspired to do this painting after returning home from a trip to the Dominican Republic. While going thru the photographs of the trip I ran across this one that reminded me of my driving escapade in this foreign country.
This is a painting of Ramon in front of his mom's house in Cabrera, Dominican Republic. Ramon is my son's friend & my driver while I was visiting his country. Ramon usually drove his motorcycle with my son up the mountain to the villa where I was staying. He would then take us out in my jeep for a day of sight seeing. I decided, on that particular morning in the photo, that I would drive myself into town so I could get used to the crazy foreign traffic. I couldn't remember where he lived so I decided that if I continued to drive around the small town of Cabrera, I would eventually find that distinct little "Blue Shanty". I did! He saw me and came running out of the house throwing on his T-shirt saying "can I go, can I go", and as you can see, his dog was running out the door as well. Look behind the motor cycle in the lower door entrance and you will see the spotted dog. Also one of Ramon's mother's friends is looking out the door at me. It was a big event for them to have a visitor from America in a rented vehicle pull up in front of their house. I'll always remember that distinct Little "Blue Shanty" and the entire trip and my son's friend Ramon.
