FLORA GONE WILD

oil on 1/2inch canvas

Second day of Eumni's workshop, I had chosen a smaller canvas yesterday but Eumni suggested using a larger one for the floral painting, after watching her the day before just go at the demo painting fearlessly I decided to follow her wild abandonment. I even used a palette knife for a good portion of the painting, I had never used one before. I learned so much, just letting go and not judging your work to harshly.  The importance of complimentary colours that can either make or break a painting.  Knowing when to stop....very difficult premise for me.  All in all it was such a great experience.
