"Gardening Time"


I don't know the name of this flower. It is blooming in the bushes in my front yard. I like to paint flowers, but so far I have not figured out a controlled way to do it. My mind goes blank when I start. I simply follow the painting wants me to do. You know what, the painting process itself is my best teacher. It tells me what is needed. I just follow the order. If i don't give up, the painting will turn out OK at the end.

This is lovely. Your use of cool and warm whites really works here.

Man, I wish my painting process is wise like that, mine usually grunts and complains. The flower might look like Gardenias?

The simplicity of this one really calls to me. Although I know there was nothing simple about painting that flower.
