This photo doesn't really show the painting off very well. It is brighter and the flowers aren't washed out like they show here. I used a different camera than usual and it "blahed" everything out a bit.

These were my wedding flowers and I think I spent half the wedding sticking my nose in them to smell them! Love the capture you did - and the size is perfect for the composition.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nan. I love the smell of them too. The yellow ones smell the best. I also like that they come back each year in the garden and there are always new ones that have spread to other parts of my yard. I don't know if the birds planted them for me or the wind blew them into new areas but either way, it's a nice surprise.
ReplyDeleteI love the textures in the background... looks a bit like silk painting!
ReplyDeleteI really love this one. Great composition, colors and contrast. I love the smell of freesias, too!
ReplyDeleteJ'aime la légèreté et la grâce avec laquelle vous avez capturé cette merveilleuse fleur... Le printemps est bien arrivé chez vous !
ReplyDeleteGros bisous
Oh I do so think this is a gorgeous palette, Nancy! You do amaze me because you use so many different techniques and mediums and I see different styles at times, too. I wish I could manage even one good style!
ReplyDeleteThank you Deborah. The background is my favorite part of this painting and I agree, it does look like a silk painting. Maybe that's why I like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Theresa. Freesias are such a happy flower and I always know that Spring is here when they pop up.
En effet! Le printemps est là.
Thank you Sherry. Stop being so hard on yourself. I really like your style!
