I had a glorious weekend of painting and shopping. What could be more fun. I completed this painting, except for the yellow centers of the delphenia (sp?), which isn't even necessary if I don't get around to it. This is a painting of yellow roses and blue thistle that was a student's challenge in my fall class. She wanted to represent Scotland and Texas for friends getting married. I'm so glad I took a picture of the bucket of flowers (or maybe a student did) they were so spectacular. I couldn't resist.
This is a new direction I want to explore because of a personal self assessment (and criticisms about me personally, not my art). That has transcended into painting quickly with less detail. Boy was that fun and I don't reach the boredom stage. I hope people like this because I want to do more of these. The color in the original is so much more interesting. A lot of turquoises and cobalts that are just not registering in the photo.
