This week has almost been a journal of my garden! With a new flower popping into bloom nearly every day - I have been drawn to capturing their opening buds in oils! These white crocus were planted decades ago, and each year they spring forth without fail. I intended to lay these in with my brush, and then do most of the work with the palette knife. With the painting well under way, I continued with the brush - not wanting to abandon the soft strokes. I then went to the knife for the edge work and that last pop of highlight. Now, it is time for a break! Painting number 811 in 811 days :)
Spring flowers, so lovely! So creative you are!
ReplyDeleteMy son and I were walking the dog the other day and saw the first crocus of spring here - such a lovely way to greet a new season. Your painting is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, I love spring flowers!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Tammie. I haven't seen any crocus flowers but the daffodils are trying hard to bloom.
ReplyDeleteI just love daffodils, and yours seem to be looking right into the sun. I certainly wish warmer weather would visit us in upstate New York. I'm so ready for Spring.
