Buying Yellow
Paintings
I’ve been watching yellow paintings at an online auction
site. I wonder where these yellow paintings will end up
hanging. There were twenty bids on a painting of yellow
daffodils. It was really pretty.
I really liked the painting titled Red Flowers Yellow Ochre
Morning. It came in three panels that were each
20”X16”. The picture online showed the painting above a
bed and it just looked so clean and crisp. The medium for
this painting was acrylic.
The smallest paintings that I found were on a panel
bracelet. The paintings were of Indian and Near Eastern
rulers. The paintings were put in an openwork gold frame
set with seed pearls. This piece was created in the early
twentieth century.
Another yellow painting that I liked was Yellow World by
Karen Khachaturov. There were a lot of contrasting
yellows in it. I could see yellow lemons and a beautiful
yellow flower. The lemons were painted so
realistically. This artist has paintings hanging in
private galleries in over 40 countries.
I can only imagine that the oil painting of yellow roses by
an unknown artist will hang in a lovely home. The
painting has a nice quality to it. The petals of the
yellow roses in the painting seemed to reach out as if they
were still alive
There was a nice painting that had twenty bidders that was
of a vase of yellow daffodils. The feel of the painting
was that of one of the masters in impressionist art. The
artist listed the item herself and she is also a poet and
songwriter. I can close my eyes and see that painting
hanging in someone’s formal parlor. It is so very
elegant.
The future home of the French chic painting of yellow,
lavender and pink roses must be that of a very feminine
woman. When I was looking at the painting, I could almost
smell the roses. I thought that the sale price of two
hundred dollars was disappointing. I think it should have
sold for more.
My search for yellow paintings found a painting entitled
Yellow Taking Over. I don’t know why the artist titled
his work like that. There was some yellow in this
collage, but not much. The painting was done in 1956 by
Nicholas Krushenick. It came from the personal collection
of a famous photographer that works for the Village
Voice. This would look good in someone’s law office.
I wish that I could have purchased the antique oil painting
of exotic yellow flowers. The auction said that it was
painted in 1897. The pictures made the painting look like
it was in great shape for being over one hundred years
old. It would look good on the wall of my guest
bedroom.
Artist Heidi Vaught had a listing for a painting she titled
Ambiance numbered 10. The painting had only one bidder
and sold for the opening bid, one hundred dollars. I
think the winning bidder got quite a bargain. This
painting was abstract with lots of teal and yellow.
Another painting by Heidi Vaught went for sixty five
dollars. This was another bargain, if you ask me.
The painting was entitled Yellow Squared and it had a really
dizzy feeling to it. I liked it at first sight.
I have a friend that would have like the painting I found of
a yellow cat. It looked just like her cat. The
painting was an original acrylic contemporary painting in
yellow ochre. It would have complemented her modern
furnishings.
Yellow roses make a wonderful subject. I never tire of
paintings of yellow roses. My favorite recently was done
by Joan Cobb Mayer. The interpretation was stunning.
There was one other yellow rose oil painting that caught my
eye recently. This one was painted by Berniece
Meyers. The bloom extended to all sides of the canvas and
the center seemed infinite. I felt good after viewing
it.
