"Violets and Lemons", 12 x 16. Watercolor
Without
my Monday painting group, I think I'd be lost. I enjoy painting with
fellow artists and most of us work on still life set ups that change
every week. We've all become pretty good friends too. There's always
someone who brings in something for a display.
I
really enjoy painting objects from life; it's a challenge to try to
capture the essence of the objects in front of me. Years ago, it took
me six hours just to get a drawing done and I feel like I have moved a
bit forward since then. The majority of this painting was done that
day; only when I got home did I complete the background.and table
shadows.
Violets
really are one of my favorite flowers, especially the purple shaded
ones. I will take this to class this coming Monday for critiquing.
Unless there's something major that I've missed; I think I'm finished
painting this one and signed it.

Beautiful!
Whenever I see African violets, I think of my grandmother. She had pots of them in every window. This is a very lovely composition and you did a really great job. Thanks for the memories!
So delicate--looks and feels like it was"tenderly" painted with love.
Thank you, This painting will be at Brath and Hughes in the very near future.
