oil on masonite
6"x5"
Yesterday morning I went out to buy some gourds and some Chrysanthemum plants for the front porch. My intention was to paint the gourds, and so I spent three hours trying to put together a good composition of the absurdly shaped and grotesquely warted things. I finally gave up, since I felt totally uninspired. If I'm uninspired, I just can't make my brush move.
Then last night in bed I realized that the generous pot of yellow mums are what I really wanted to paint. So here they are.
Absolutely beautiful. Yellow is a hard color to paint but you're done a magnificent job. I like the way you painted the mums without defining every petel. Very nice.

I share your gourd feelings - glad you chose the flowers for which you painted a good sense of light.
ReplyDeleteYou chose the right thing to paint. This is lovely. Nice work.
