Day 19 of the 30/30 challenge
I am really having fun with this month's challenge. I get excited about my paintings, and have fun struggling with the next composition. (It also gives me a perfect excuse to visit the thrift store across the street for more finds) ha, although my husband accuses me laughingly of being a hoarder..... I am NOT.... ha...
A close up of yesterdays bouquet... I must paint these quickly, because, being in the strong light of my set-up, the flowers open up while I am painting, and it makes it hard to get the shapes and values right. quick is best, as a photo does little good in this situation.
Day 18 of the 30/30 challenge
Today's painting is my favorite subject (or one of my favorites) Flowers...
Trader Joe's has the best flowers, especially appreciated when spring seems so far away here in St. Louis. I loved the color on these, the outsides are a muted orange, but even when they were only buds I could see a brilliant red center. Had to have 'em.
