Here is another surprise fabric that was sent to me
by Kim Rempel. This time a dark navy Batik. I
thought it made a nice backdrop for this red Tiki
Umbrella. The black coffee cup is not exactly part
of the Polynesian theme, but I really liked the way
the busy pattern and the bright red reflected in it.

Love this one! very striking.
Bold and wonderful Gwen! Love your patterned drops.
And thanks for following the donut war.
Hello Gwen,
This is wonderful, love the graphic quality to this and the beautiful reflections in the cup. I really like the depth you achieved in the fabric, I bet this was a lot of fun.
WOW!! Wonderful Work!!
The reflections are just amazing. The red and black is so dramatic and your colors are rich. I'm impressed with this series.
Hi Gwen,
A gorgeous painting. I love the reflected light. These little umbrellas adorned the Singapore slings my husband and I drank on our first date. Before that my mother gave them out as favours with the candy at one of my birthday parties. Super painting.

Now this one is FUN!
Beautiful Gwen. I love all the still-life work you've been doing with prints!
Red Tiki is stunning! I love the way you handled the reflections of the fabric in the mug and the little red parasol adds a whimsical touch. Black and white with the red accent... nice touch.

Love the colour scheme,dramatic, and the reflections.
Wow, such a strong painting and great oriental feel. You better be careful or you will have all of us scouring second hand stores for great fabrics. You will have bags of the stuff arriving in the mail :)
I so enjoy seeing your daily paintings. They are an inspiration.
It looks great Gwen! Isn't that a lovely, rich navy? And your cup handle is stellar ; )!!!
This is really a strong painting. Much as I love the color, though, I have to say my favorite part is the creamy white of the cup interior, juxtaposed with the cool white of the background. Really lovely. Good luck with your show!
Very beautiful. I love the patterns in the fabric.
Thanks everyone so much for your great comments!
Catherine, I love that idea! I would love to receive more surprise fabrics in the mail. Part of the fun is not knowing what it's going to look like.
If anyone sees a fabric and thinks of me, bring it on! Keep in mind how it will look reflected...I'm all about the reflections. All takers, email me for my address!
The Tiki umbrella may be the star of the painting, but I love the mug! I love the red reflections on the handle, and the creamy interior. Really, though, everything about this painting is beautiful.
Gwen, You continue to out do yourself! Of course, there is no color combo that is more dramatic the black and white with a touch of red.
Yes, quite striking!!! You handled the little umbrella well (I was surprised at how hard these little paper things are to paint -- for me, at least). I like the contrast of the cool white pattern of the fabric with the warm white of the cup interior.
Amazing painting....love the way you handled the reflections. Everything about this is great~
the reflections in the cup are wonderful. Amazing piece, Gwen.
Beautiful job, Gwen. I love the reflection of the red umbrella on the mug.
Very nice Gwen. This is striking with the black/white and red.
Wonderful and love the composition.
Gwen!
I adore that black, abstract-zebra-like pattern!
The coffee mug looks great too. Almost a rich black-brown color!
