Freesia in a Purple Vase - SOLD


A good friend gave me flowers (to congratulate me on the imminent start of a full time job*). Flowers are for painting, right? I just cannot let cut flowers exist in the house without itching to portray them... in the past, I've done watercolours on cards for friends' weddings. But watercolour isn't really my métier, and, besides, none of my friends are getting married. So out with the acrylics and the tiny canvas it was.

Acrylic on canvas, 7 x 7 cm
SOLD

Freesia 2
Freesia 3 
Stack o' Freesia (shows edges of all three paintings) 


*Unfortunately, the full time job means less painting.

  1. Flowers are pleasing on the eye (as I was trying to convince Terri the other day). Not just for painting! :o)

  2. Ah, but anything that is pleasing on the eye invites being the subject of a painting!
