Fall Bloomers
acrylic on gessoed board, 10in x 8 in
In my house, the turn to autumn brings new blooms - copper canyon daisies and Mexican sage. Another part of autumn is bringing out the family dishes and planning their use in the coming holidays. Combining the two for a painting seemed natural.
I have entered this painting in the First Annual Autumn Art Painting Challenge and Competition on Facebook. There are some great paintings there so I'm not too hopeful. It was one of my dreams for 2009 to enter a competition - so I'm living the dream regardless!
Here are a few closeups:
