Bright beginnings for the New Year...Wildflowers I picked while I was walking along the beach. I started this before Christmas and had trouble with the yellows...there IS a lot of it!  The flowers, the body of the jug and the handle, I was yellowed out!! After a few days off from painting I decided to finish it.. the background is not quite as bright as this in real life though. Sometimes the camera just doesn't do what it should!  I'm not that comfortable painting bright...I favor softer colors and neutrals...for all that, it was  good to get out of my comfort zone!! I hope everyone had a happy Christmas!

This weeks entry to the DPW challenge. What am I thankful for? There are a lot of things I'm thankful for, this is one of them! I was given a dahlia cutting from a special neighbour I used to live  next door to. This is one of the buds from that plant!!

Half way mark in this challenge!! I am glad I have made it this far...I enjoy painting daily but when  it has to be posted every day the pressure goes on!! I usually only post 2-3 times a week because I like to make sure I'm happy with it!

It's been a while since I have painted flowers...this is the first bud on my plant this year. I painted the flower on a dark background a few years ago...when I picked this it was a cloudy day and it looked nice against the sky color, so I thought I'd try a lighter background  this time!
