Hello again - Earlier I mentioned that I had a few new
paintings, but was not very happy with them.
I “called a friend”, got the CPR going, and will post them over the next
few days. In addition, I’m trying out black
backgrounds because they seem so intriguing.
The black I use is Phthalo Green and Alizarin Crimson (learned a few years ago from DT). Somehow, the dark green and red
make the most luscious black. These are
both considered cool colors, who knew. Perhaps that explains why anything warm will pop out at the viewer. So much to learn.
Every day I try to take a three-mile walk. The path has a number of wildflowers and it’s
always delightful to see what’s blooming.
Go figure, all the time we spend hand-holding and tending our garden plants
doesn’t seem to apply to these hardy specimens that brave the drought and the
torrential rains! This painting was to
capture their bravado. Calling it Daisy Divas, because it looks like they are actually singing into the wild
clover “mike” and jockeying for the limelight!

Tomorrow I will post my favorite of the three and
put it up for auction. I am delighted to report that last week's painting, Lemons Four Ways, has been bid on (auction to end on Sunday June 16th).
Enjoy, life is joy we make one moment at a time.
