Flowers

I went on a crazy flower streak lately- after painting a series of owl portraits I needed bright color, and went on a flower binge.

I looked at Dutch inspired arrangements and photos of brightly colored flowers like peonies and poppies. I looked at Bonnard and Schiele for courage to break out of my norm and take a few risks with my color choices and technique.

Every painting is a lesson. I learn something every time about painting, about myself, and I love how intimately I get to know each scene or item I am painting. 

Here's what I did- All originals are still available.
