"Flower Boxes"

"Flower Boxes"  16" x 20"  Oil on Canvas

Today, I'm sharing a painting I finished a while ago. 

One January, I was experiencing a bit of painter's block. 

I blamed it on the gloomy weather of the Midwest in 

January as the culprit. I decided to paint a flower a 

day for 16 days to see if I could get back on track and 

it worked! During the painting process, I became 

acutely aware of how my style changed from day to 

day while I was painting. A few flowers are fast and 

loose, some are bold, while others are tight and fussy. 

It was a good exercise and I learned a lot about my 

painted expressions on canvas.
