1101 Seat Taken

 This was my last chance to paint the marigolds I grew from life.  It was really hard to say goodbye to them as they were so brilliant.  The chair is one I painted several years ago, modified in this painting.  In reality, every surface of the chair is painted with a design, but I felt too many details would take away the focus of the marigolds.  I'm very happy with this painting. but I am NOT falling in love with it because that is "the kiss of death" for a painting, as a wise former mentor would say.

1076 Sharing the Spotlight

The zinnias are really difficult to paint because of all the individual petals.  I have to fight the inclination to paint each one, which would be tedious and boring for the viewer.

1064 Cuppa Sunshine

 Today is Day 1 of the Strada September 30-Day Challenge.  I decided to make use of my many black and white container props to provide some consistency. ( I'm a sucker for black and white. ) The marigolds are vibrant and plentiful in my rooftop garden.
