Broccoli Painting

Broccoli, painting by Delilah Smith

About This Painting:

An oil painting of Broccoli.

Broccoli has been around for more than 2000 years, The name "broccoli" comes for the Latin word brachium, which means "branch," or "arm." Americans have grown it in their gardens for only about 200 years! The first commercially grown broccoli was grown and harvested in New York, then planted in the 1920's in California. A few crates were sent back East and by 1925 the broccoli market was off the ground.

Art on the Internet



Art on the Internet


The Internet is a remarkably user-friendly way to
navigate the art world. The World Wide Web can be
used to do background research on an artist or type
of art that interests you, to locate dealers specializing
in that work, to scout available inventory and to
check prices. The Web offers access to art and galleries
all over the world.


Email makes it easy to initiate a
relationship with a gallery that you might not readily
be able to visit. delilah@artbydelilah.com


However, no one polices the Web for accuracy, and the
Internet must be approached with intelligence and a
degree of caution. Art-historical information is only
as good as the source from which it comes.


Internet sellers may post images of works they do not actually
have access to, or that are incorrectly described or not
authentic. Prices need to be understood within the
larger context of the art market, and are often meaningless
when you have not seen the work in person.


Many Internet portals offer listings of dealers and art
works for sale, but these are for the most part paid
services that are not screened for quality or reliability.
dealer has a home page on the adaa’s website, with a
link to that dealer’s personal site.
.
While the Internet can be helpful in researching
an acquisition, the actual process of buying art
takes place in the real world.

The Color Orange

Flamboyant and Energetic : Orange is vibrant. It's a combination of red and yellow so it shares some common attributes with those colors. It denotes energy, warmth, and the sun. But orange has a bit less intensity or aggression than red, calmed by the cheerfulness of yellow. Wow that kind of sounds like me.

For the month of October I will be painting things that are orange on my painting a day blog.
