Day Four Blooming March

Blooming March Challenge

Day Four

When I set out for this challenge I had a week to prepare.

The first thing I did was see what photo references I had and to find whatever was missing. (Hint, I have never seen a Jasmine Blossom ever in my life)

Second, I cropped and cut each chosen reference so I knew exactly what I was painting.

(For those whom believe that art just happens, this is a lie)

This is part of the process that no one ever sees or mentions. People always ask an artist how long did that painting take? I personally love it when artists answer "about ten to fifteen years".

Spring Rhythm

This is another one of my faves! It's a softer Spring piece but there is something almost musical about the flow throughout. The yellow flowers were trimmed from my rosebush out in the front yard. The rest of the arrangement came from Creekview Floral, who do amazing bouquets and arrangements. "Spring Rhythm" 12 x 16 oil on canvas This one needs a new home!
