"50 Shade of Gray" - 5 x 5 inches - oil on paper

"50 Shades of Gray" - 5 x 5 inches - oil on paper
Day 20 in the "30 Paintings in 30 Days" challenge.  Exactly 2/3 of the way through.

For those of you expecting something about whips, chains or bondage, shame on you.  I'm simply referring to all the different shades of gray in this little gem.  I actually love this painting.  I don't say that often but this one just speaks to me.  Hand sanitizer.  What could be more mundane?  Beauty can be found in just about anything.

"50 Shade of Gray" is a 5 inch square painting and is available for $40.  Click the Buy Now button below to purchase using a credit card/Paypal or here for other payment options.

    Laurie I love this one also. The hint of shadow I see is so perfect. I love the way you handled the liquid in the hand sanitizer also. And, knowing that you toned your papers before hand I see just the glow of blue on this one.

    Also, I think you've talked me into looking for Bubbies Bread and Butter pickles next time I am in town ..

    I can totally relate to this one! I painted a watercolor of our remodeled bathroom a couple of years ago: the sink and tile counter with a jug of flowers on it. Very peaceful, like this one. And I love your use of different grays. Very nice.

    Hmmm, maybe I'll change my mind and guess you used a pink/red to tone the paper ...
