"Flowers" ($40.00)




















(adjusted price.....$40.00)


The focus is on spring in this piece and how refreshing it is to see the landscape punctuated with color again. It reminds me of another quote..."There is material enough in a single flower to build a score of cathedrals." (John Ruskin)

This is the last piece in a series of four with a similar background and different flowers included. There is another way to do a series that's beneficial. Those of us who attended the Georgia Deaver Workshop this past weekend were encouraged to work with the same subject in different ways. For instance, you could paint or draw a bell pepper to look the way it actually looks, and then paint or draw it in a color not typically associated with its true color to learn more about values. It was fascinating to see purple bell peppers, for heaven's sake! It's fun and also entertaining.

Just a reminder to those who live in the Austin area. I am the coordinator for the visual arts team at Hill Country Bible Church NW and we are having the Opening Rerception for our Easter Exhibit this Friday evening. The invitation with specific details can be found on our website.....(pactofaustin.com). Hope to see you there!
