Anita Marci's "Pomegranates" Painting

"Pomegranates" is a mixed media piece that I also refer to as Partners. It is a Custom piece that was created for an older couple that has been together for many, many years. I bought the fruit and placed it in this position, kind of leaning on each other the way that married couples do, especially after so much time together. I always admire the way they care for each other and are there for each other all the time.  I feel that this art works on several levels.  It captures the balance of this couple's relationship. The composition is well balanced and it balances the color in the room as well.  The bright red colors in the carpet were making the room too heavy on one side so this painting brought the same colors to the other side of the room.  This mixed media art is a combination of a watercolor base and pastel layers on top.  As it turns out, the owners of this painting like it so well that they moved it upstairs to the family room where they spend most of their time.  As an artist, it is my greatest joy, when a collector chooses to live in constant presence of the art because they enjoy it so much.
