Looking through the daily paintings, I was drawn to the plethora of floras. I tried to hold out until week two to start painting flowers. Here’s proof that I caved.
After struggling with reworking the cactus, I felt the need to loosen up. So I splattered some clean water on the paper. Splattered and spread paint. I worked fast and forced myself to STOP. Stop before I was lost in details. This is not as loose as I had in mind. But I am pleased with the result.
Hope everyone had a terrific weekend! Mine was pretty good. A visit from my brother and his wife, peaches and raspberry pancakes from IHOP, and a PBS Downtown Abbey Marathon. I couldn’t ask for more!
Happy creating to you!
Take a look at day 6 on Leslie Seata’s 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge!

Hi Sheila! I’m so glad you are on the ‘painting treadmill’ with me again! Love today’s flower- and the bunny from a couple of days ago- sooo cute!!! See you via art tomorrow again;-)
Hi Simone! Thank you 🙂 Your campers always make me smile. I love how you spruced up your little dream machine. Thanks for visiting, and happy painting to you 🙂
So bright and cheerful – a lovely memory of the colours of summer.
Thank you Val 🙂

Very happy little painting Sheila! Makes me smile.
So nice to hear Cindy 🙂 Have fun with the challenge 🙂
I love your work Shelia. As you know, I can’t stay away from the florals either.
Oh and your flowers are stunning Jill! Thanks for visiting, so glad you like this little piece 🙂
Boy, you sure got your question answered by lots of people yesterday on the cactus! And I know exactly what you mean about fooling around too much with details, etc. Yesterday I spent a ridiculous amount of time playing with a painting that wasn’t working- on a little 5×7! On to some different today. This is beautiful, Sheila. And you DID capture a sense of looseness. Perfect!
I did Laurie, and I am so thankful. I am still playing with it. I will so show it tomorrow. So glad you like my piece, it has got a bit of your favorite green in it. I love that green 🙂
So pretty! Must be why we are so drawn to florals… they are just so pretty! 🙂 I thought your cactus was great too!
I LOVE your bouquets Karin! I think you are right, how can we resist 🙂
Laughing with you at your having caved!!! Love where the blue transitions darker/different hue at the top. Carry on, Flower Child : )
Glad I could make you smile Dotty 🙂 Carrying on! (hand to head in salute)
A lovely thing Sheila! Good luck for the rest of the Challenge! 🙂
To you as well Helen 🙂 thanks for visiting!
