Another addition to my three-finger floral series inspired by a free class offered by Amanda Evanston some weeks back.
Nothin' like having a fresh flower arrangement to create some dynamic energy in the otherwise barely-noticed landscape of everyday clutter passing as decor!

Love, Love, Love! So festive, and yes, dynamic. Playful. JOYful! :)
Thx for 'festive' and 'playful,' Sheila! And showers of love ❤️.
I love the simplicity of a vase with flowers. It made me think about a Dutch artist, Klaas Gubbels, who's (almost) solely subject of art was a teapot. I believe one can fill a lifetime with painting vases with flowers.

Simone, thank you for the introduction to Klaas Gubbels and his teapots, and thank you for speaking to the practice of painting one subject or motif repeatedly. I've painted several vase-with-flowers pieces in recent weeks and hope to paint others—I notice again and again how much there is to learn and enjoy and explore in painting the 'same' thing repeatedly.
Love the translucent effect in the vase. Yes, there is no end to just vases with flowers
ooo, love that you see a translucence effect in the vase; it was cut from a huge sheet of paper on which i painted a 'chaos layer' start on a vacation some years ago and never took forward until i grabbed a bit of it to make a collage vase now : )
