The Good Old Days

The latest assignment in the painting class I am taking was to do an abstract based on some pottery shards.  I was very uncomfortable doing this project and felt I was floundering the whole time working on it.   The Good Old Days is what I called it because that's what is reminds me of, days of my youth.  We were supposed to add texture, which is not very visible in the photograph.  The bright yellow band is textured, painted in bright iridescent gold acrylic.  The patterned area is patterned antique tissue paper.  The bulk of the painting is in oils painted on a 18x24 stretched canvas.  I will probably paint on it a little more when I get the time but it is basically finished.
