My long time friend Janet from Seattle gave me several new plants for my garden this spring. One was a pink guara which stands just outside my studio window. I wanted to capture its free and graceful way of splaying out from its pot and retain its sense of delicacy. I started with an underpainting to convey the feeling of color and movement I wanted and added just enough detail to bring an impression of the flower out to the viewer. I've been away from the easel for awhile, but I can't wait to paint again. Hopefully I will be posting more as I get going with a more regular painting schedule. Thanks for checking out my blog!
