SPRING FLOWERS

8x8 Oil on Gessobord
For purchase information click HERE.
I had a blast painting these flowers!  I don't know what kind of flowers they are.  The tag said "stock."  Their fragrance filled my studio, which was amazing.  Don't you love having fresh flowers in the house?  It is such a treat!

I continue to work on three larger pieces and they are coming along.  I have to say that there still is a struggle, but it is lessening with each day and I am now looking forward to each challenge that comes my way.  I'm learning so much.  Happy, happy, happy!!!

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK-END!

    I love the way you have painted these flowers Linda...the thicker paint and brush strokes look so good!! I have tried to use thicker paint but have failed miserably so far...but I will try again!! You have a wonderful weekend too.

    Love, love, love the paint quality in this. Your background is fabulous. Just enough interest for the eyes to explore after feasting on the gorgeous flowers and glass vase

    I too am painting larger , I had a real struggle recently, but after 12 foot airport painting I felt like I was not challenging myself enough. You paint beautifully, but where are the large paintings?

      Wow! 12 foot painting - I am impressed, Liz! Hats off to you! My larger pieces are in my studio and I haven't decided if I will post them. Courage ….
