This little painting was done with all palette knife rather than brushes. It gives it great dimension in real life. The painting measures 6 x 6" unframed. Framed it is 12 x 12". I am finding the paint challenge more enjoyable than I had anticipated, and also more challenging than I had anticipated. I just might continue trying to finish one piece per day, in addition to the more laborious paintings that take weeks or months. It seems to be a good combination. The only thing that has suffered due to the extra workload has been housecleaning, but I can live with that!

I just love this Christine. Full of expression and confidence.
Love the warm colors, beautiful, Christine!
The depth, texture and richness of tone are wonderful. They really look alive and like they might be trembling in a breeze! Very lovely.
So alive and full of color. Wonderful texture... beautiful.
I like this one a lot, Chris... NOT because it is about my beloved flowers, but something in-between good composition and very interesting brush-strokes makes it special. I think You have one very successful painting here.
Rich and beautiful.
Thanks so much everyone!
