5x7 inches, acrylic with touches of oil pastel and tissue paper collage
Oh dear. Skies are gray. Snow keeps falling. Icy patches are building up where we walk, and the house is too cold for my comfort. I have a space heater in the studio, so when I go there to paint I can at least be a little warmer.
Yesterday I headed over to my local painting group, and tortured them with constant chatter, something I have to stop doing. I think the need to blather on comes from a built up need to interact with other people, especially this time of year when I spend so much of the day inside in solitary pursuits - the talk inside just builds up and has to be released!
Anyway, when I got home I decided it was time to paint something in response to an online challenge, and this little painting was the result. Not my favorite, perhaps. I don't always feel compelled to paint florals, but I wanted to experiment with a brighter, simpler style than usual. I was unhappy with the tabletop, so on a whim I added tissue paper stripes, just to echo the orange in the flowers.
Want to try your own version? Head over to to Studio Atalier and take a look at the original, then see what you want to do with it (or another reference photo).
