#64 "pink "


Posted by Picasa 5x7 oil on panel...175.00....flowers are not really my favorite subject to paint, but i do love to grow them, when i can keep them alive....these are from the side yard...had a little fight with the bees, but i managed to snag these babies....in an old vase i have had for 30 years....tmi? Private Collection

#63 "your classic floral"

Posted by Picasa the same 5x7 as below with a change...added a leaf under the right flower to try and bring your eye down and back around and up the left side...did that help the composition or not....some critique time would be great....also, does anyone think i need more light coming from behind left side under left flower ?
