Day 2 - Fresh Picked

Fresh Picked

My husband loves to grow and pick flowers.
I love to paint flowers.



Fresh Picked
10" x 10" acrylic on a panel 
Sold




Zinnias, echinacea, laropie and sedum 
all in an old Mason jar.

Here's how this started out.
Not all that pretty, Huh?
I wanted the flowers to be the star,
so I used this dark mottled background.


Here's a little time lapse so you can see how it all began.

Here's a little closeup of that red hot star in front.

Here's my models.
I don't think this will be the last time you see these bad boys.
Thanks for stopping by today and please share if you can.
