Bouquet painting ... again!

Drawing and/or painting flowers and bouquets is a love of mine. 

This is a still life, from real life, that was a fun project.

I felt like doing another bouquet painting
and i just happened to have this little

Mother's Day one. (Thank you Matt! 💓)

I had a board already made with gesso 

and some acrylic iridescent gold

splashed on it ... I think the gold was leftover from

painting a frame ... ?

Anyway, it looked like the size i wanted,

so I began to sketch (with charcoal first). Again I didn't think to take

more progress photos ... 

This one progress shot while painting indicates where 

those funny little buds are in the bouquet. 

I don't know what they are, do you?

I love the background iridescence in certain light.

These flowers, from Mother's Day ... are still holding strong, 

with a bit of trimming. 

So, when was that? Over 2 weeks ago! 

Amazing!

I am not sure what to do. I have heard of another service called "follow.it" that will send these blogposts out. I am very technically challenged so I hope I can figure it out.
