Delicate Blooms

                                                                DELICATE BLOOMS

 This oil painting takes on the resemblance of a watercolor painting. The technique was to use a thinner ,

more transparent approach to applying the paint. Although more delicate ; there is still  a strong source 

of light in the composition of the painting. The lighter side of the flowers and the vase suggest the light is 

coming from the right; this gives more depth to the image.

Old Times Sake

                                                                     Old Times Sake

     Of course I would  pick a garden scene to paint. I love the unusual color palette and the natural planting. The house in the background is a muted color to make it recede to show depth. It gives  a contrast of warmth and coolness although.
