Since DH is gone I got out all my old paining supplies and played around. I am not good at all at art but its relaxing. I'm kinda proud of this picture and I thought I would share it with you all. Honestly, what do you think?

I think its georgeous....seriously.....

I love the colors of the flowers...and the shading you did along the edges on the canvas are real neat looking.....

and your leaves look like leaves.....leaves are my bane in drawing.... so the fact you can draw them so i know what they are is awesome.......

and I love how one of the stems jumps off the page....I think it looks neat...

so yeah i
it......

I'm not a big fan of 'white space' on my canvas. I usually prime with a taupe color but the store didn't have any and Hobby Lobby is close on Sundays so I just used the fan brush and put some splatter to fill in the blank area. It sounds weird but the white drowned out the flower and made it look icky. I just needed some color to mute the white!!

Speaking as a full-time artist - I like it a lot.

Oils.
It was quite messy clean up!!! Thanks for the compliments everyone.
I'll have to send DH a picture in email. He'll be happy to know I'm painting again.
