Floral Friday 1/22/16

  

Using your imagination, for an artist, is key.  Ignoring the blizzard expected tomorrow, I am painting flowers.

Here is my fourth painting of the same photo by Uschi that is posted on the photo sharing website, Paint My Photo. Last week, I thought I had finished with this photograph.  Three small paintings with dark backgrounds seemed to have exhausted this photo’s charm.  That was last week. Yesterday, I thought of a  different approach.  Why was I limiting myself to the small size, did I have to paint the background dark?  

Brighter and lighter, I think I am fighting this blizzard in my studio. 

Stay safe my friends.  Between shoveling and warming up, I am planning to work on commissions.  It’s a great time to “art.”
