PURE BLISS

I never tire of seeing  rhododendrons blooming, my favourites being the purples and pinks...deliciously beautiful. I find flowers a perfect subject to paint, there is so much movement and the rainbow of colours is one big garden party.

Today is definitely fall, blue sky, crisp air and leaves  turning those wonderful colours.  I wonder why I just wanted to paint summer flowers. The flowers were pink in the reference photo I used, I don't use a lot of purple but today I made a conscious decision to make it the main colour of the flowers. I absolutely love purple and green together.

I had a request from a customer asking if I could paint a purple cow.  Well here it is, I absolutely loved working with so many purples and blues and then with the gold accents it all came together.  I think there will be more coloured cows.

Originally I was using purple just to add  hints of definition to the black, I just kept using more and more so I went with it.  I love the outcome,  I laugh every time I walk by this painting.

This was the second attempt at this painting, originally the pansies were smaller, it just didn't look right to me.  I enlarged the image and it gave the pansies more of an impact.

At a loss for what to paint, I headed outside and took a picture of one of our deck chairs.  I have 4 and they are all different colours.  Here is #1 which today is my favourite.
