Florals may be the most challenging subject to paint in my opinion! In the morning and evening light flowers always have a transparent glow that is so difficult to capture. In this particular case there are hundreds of tiny petals that make up the hydrangea yet they are so soft in texture. Not to mention the depth in color of what we sometimes see as just a blue flower. There is gray, gold, blue green, gray blue green, purple, violet....ect.  So how do I convey so many colors in such a small subject and maintain a soft texture and a warm light? Honestly, I have no idea! All I can do is try, try and try again. 

I do love the colors in this painting and how it makes me feel when I look at it...

Bold, Energetic and Feminine!

I am back on track and painting pieces that I enjoy looking at! Whoo Hooo!

Perhaps my dear friend Harold played a significant role in reigning in my painting skills today. Harold was my grandmothers partner and boyfriend who past away this week. Harold was in his 90's and as life  goes on so did Harold. He was not one to complain or feel badly. Harold was battling cancer and made a choice to not have chemo treatments as he did not like how the chemo made him feel. I can only imagine that he was pleasantly pleased with his life and all his accomplishments. For Harold "Father Time" was a part of life that he was willing to accept. I can only hope and pray to be so strong! Harold lived his life as many hope, he picked up his first golf club in his 80's so he could spend time with my Grandmother on the course. I only know bits and pieces of Harold's life but if he were to tell us his story it would be an engaging and amazing novel. I know enough to tell you that I admire, respect and love Harold very much. He is in good hands and great company now.
