Easter Flowers For You

Happy Easter!

I hope you are having a wonderful Easter week.  I know my kids are because they are in College and they both have nice Spring Breaks in California. It's also been beautiful here in Tucson the weather is so perfect!

I painted Easter flowers and pansies for a couples weeks with my Mentor because they are intricate flowers and they don't last long in our climate.  I loved painting them, and it seems with flowers, the looser I get with my brush strokes the more I like the finished paintings.  My Mentor said she loved my "Bravado" and I had to ask her what she meant.  She told me she enjoyed the strength in which I applied bold colors with a bravery in laying them down.  I really liked that compliment, because I find it really exciting to paint with an intent on making a free flowing, loose piece.  I'm happy it's working : ). Painting this way also feels rewarding because I have a finished piece in a day.

I had a lot of fun painting these, I hope it comes through to you as the viewer.  Now it's time to work on my larger piece and buckle down to small details again.

I hope you have a joy filled Easter!
