Hello, here are a few more of my drawings and paintings done in the
Flowers! workshop with Jordan Wolfson.
I had a single sunflower, so I stuck it in a tiny vase.
Here is the photo.

In the middle of painting a bouquet that included
a large yellow Chrysanthemum (Mum),
I realized that I needed to find out how best to paint that Mum.
So I began googling painters who painted flowers and found
a Chrysanthemum painting by Piet Mondrian!
Most of you probably know him for his abstract, or "De Stijl" or "the style",
paintings that looked like this:
The painting that I found to copy and learn from is this:

| Yellow Chrysanthemums in a Ginger Pot by Piet Mondrian, c.1898 |

| Yellow Chrysanthemums after Piet Mondrian Oil on canvas 16 x 12 inches |
So I tried again with this painting

Hi Teri, these are absolutely stunning! You are so talented! I just found your blog today, and when I clicked on your profile I noticed that...wow, you were following my old blog from years ago, Linda's Peaceful Place! I am so happy to have found you again! I had no computer for more than 7 years and due to the amount of time that had passed, I lost access to my old blog.
I started my new blog at the end of March this year, Linda's Relaxing Lair (link is in my profile).
Warm greetings from a (now 68 year old) lady living in Montreal, Canada. :)
