Two More Paintings Finished

Posted on March 21, 2022 by Mama Cormier

….and one is a sunflower

I think I complained that I couldn’t paint sunflowers. Well I persisted and the smaller of the two paintings features a sunflower. Both paintings started out as large pieces that I ended up cutting down in size and painted over what I had already done. It took several tries but I’m finally happy with the final outcome.

New Flower (March 1, 2022) – Cactus Flowers

Posted on March 1, 2022 by Mama Cormier

….from the Centennial Park Conservatory

I wish I knew the name of these two flowers. Sometimes the plants at the conservatory are not well labelled. If anyone is familiar with either or both of these two plants I’d love to hear from you.
