These are GORGEOUS! I like the way you reserved the lightest areas for extra pop. And all of your colors work so well together, well done! And yay, finished! Joan
M: Thanks. It's shocking just how BIG 16x16 seems/daunting too. Compared to my little 6x6's they are somewhat dramatic! JOAN: Thanks. Of interest the lightest areas on the petals of THIS flower were painted in LAST (after the most of the painting had completely dried) when I realized it was getting lost in the similar value background. (:
Terrific Diane, so confident but subtle at the same time. It must have been exciting to work at that size after working small scale for a while. You are tempting me to try a 16" square!

Your trio of sunflowers is very nice. I think three large paintings like that would be very damatic hung together.

ReplyDeletethese are so great. They have that same bold, beautiful presence here as in the garden.
