Pink Flowers

Because I plan to do paintings with these it's important to photograph them from every angle and at each stage along the way so that I can create a painting that feels like the flowers and breathe a little life into the canvas over our long Midwest winters.

Drawing a Pink Flower

A simple valentine design

The color of everything

I finished the second pink scarf and an earth tone hat so my right hand and arm are done for a while and /I'm back to exploring what I can  and can't do left handed.
As I'm doing that I'm still thinking about color.
I've been so busy creating art for the last 45 years that I never noticed when colors acquired so much baggage. I choose colors that make me happy or suit my mood and not because they support a disease, war or sexual preference.
Does anyone remember when a rainbow was just a rainbow, pink wasn't the theme color for cancer and a yellow ribbon was just something you tied on a package?
