Painted about a month or so ago, this geranium had just had a drastic haircut. It has about three times as many leaves now. I should try to paint it again--I would have more compositional choices. Painted in the morning with the sun coming through the window. I was happy enough with this one, except I don't like how the right side of the pot is almost just touching the right side of the painting. That is not what my intention was, but I don't have a handle on these ellipses yet. They seem to push me around. Live and learn....
Bonus show and tell. My mother asked to see a landscape. This one was done in the fall of 2010, when I had the admirable goal of running around on my lunch hour painting plein air. So, this one was painted probably in about a half hour by the time I found a site, set up, painted, packed up, and got back to work. I also clearly remember I only had an unprimed panel in the car, so I had to use it. The panel was drawing a lot of the moisture from the paint. Oh yeah, the painting:
acrylic, 6x8ish
