My best of the three attempts I made painting this bouquet. I thought painting white flowers was hard till I did this one. Those yellow flowers were a pain.
Funny story. When I showed it to Joe Miller aka Cheap Joe he quipped if I asked Charles Reid to sign it I would have TWO charles Reid flower paintings.
So I did. Darn he didn’t do it. 🤗He did laff when I told him Joe told me to do it.
I do have this very tiny Charles Reid sketch in my class notes where he explained to me how he would paint the yellow flowers.
Unpacking almost done. Now I have to go to the grocery store for something healthy to eat. All I have in the house is a couple of apples and I want to paint them BEFORE i eat them.
And I want to paint this great Mother’s Day bouquet before it does so off I go.
I did collage the cover of my notebooks from Charles and Peggi Habets class. It’s a Strathmore Mixed Media 500 sketchbook which has such a dull brown cover.
Ttyl xoxox Margaret glad she’s more unpacked than packed.
