Flowers In Alexandria
My first attempt at an impressionistic flower after reading that Jean Haines book and I think it’s a decent start. I could still be looser – the leaves are a bit too well defined. Pleased with the bees though (even if they’re a bit green): they balance the composition enough that the flowers don’t look off centre.
Colours today were quinacridone magenta, French ultramarine, Prussian blue, cadmium yellow, Payne’s grey and burnt umber. The usual crowd of favourites but with Prussian blue coming in for the greens.
This one was up for sale at one point but has been taken down now – I’ve done too many better paintings.
