I love to paint and draw, but I don't often make time for it. People keep giving me art supplies, though, so I thought it was about time to use them! I started this flower series a couple weeks ago when I was fasting [it's amazing how much time you have when you aren't on facebook!]. They're intended to be hung on a wall together, above one another. The third one will be two sunflowers in a mason jar. I used photo sources I found through Google's image search.
You may recognize this one as the full version of the photo I am using at the top left of this blog. It's [mostly] acrylic on a canvas panel. The background is acrylic yellow ochre mixed with this old bottle of orange washable kids' paint [probably tempera]. The stem needs more texture, and the petals need more continuity. I'll put the finishing touches on later.
This poppy isn't quite finished either. I'm going to use a pale french blue [like a grey-blue] for the background, & once again, add some more detail to the stem... which is massive, by the way. I didn't mean for it to be so big.
I need words as wide as sky; I need language large as this longing inside. And I need a voice bigger than mine; I need a song to sing You that I've yet to find.
