February – Day 23

All while painting this, I was giggling internally. I totally botched this. Had something good going on with the backgrounds. Added blooms. Came out cool too. Added stems. Sad, sad, hideous stems. So, cover them up with grasses good idea yeah? Um, uh-uh.

So then I thought, how about a digital crop. Yeah. I can live with that. Ha ha ha ha. Just proving to myself, there is so much more to learn.

But the truth is above. 5 x 7.

I thought about naming it, the “Queen of Putrescence”. That terrific word came to mind. Hey, I might never have the chance to use it again! I had to look up the spelling, and that led to the video. And of course I had to watch. That movie is full of funny.

It’s been awhile since I painted sunflowers. I am missing them. So for today, late to the challenge, sunflowers. I have two more canvas panels started. But I am feeling like I want to do some straight watercolor. Tomorrow’s painting will be a surprise for you and I both!

For drawing three, the day was #20, and the comment from that day was #6.

Congratulations Sharon Kullberg!

Let me know which of these you would like!
Thanks everyone, for following along!
One more drawing this month!

Over 1000 Artists worldwide are taking part in Leslie Saeta’s 30 Paintings In 30 Days Challenge. This is her ninth biannual event. I missed the first one, but have participated in each since then. The only goal is to paint every day. Doesn’t have to be good, or even finished.

This was painted with a palette knife, I used a brush for the stems.
