This lily, ( for that is what it is) didn't fit in my shadow box ( cardboard box), so I had to poke a hole in the corner of the box and feed it through. I may have kilt the poor thing. I nearly killed myself ( exaggeration) , the studio ( garage) is bloody freezing. Even with a heater, and slippers, and scarf, and the odd daft dance, I was petrified with the cold. Fab excuse for the next few months.
I couldn't quite decide what overall colour this was, so I kind of put it together with different colours in a kind of jigsaw way. It makes it too bitty I think, it's not quite obvious what's going on . Also, I think I made the shadows on the flower too dark. Also, how did I not spot the too regular stamen shadows until now?
I love it! You are too hard on yourself! I wasn't brave enough to go to my shed - it is SO cold! I have turned the heater on low for the night so perhaps I might do some painting, you are putting me to shame!
ReplyDeleteSoftie! :-)
DeleteYes I'm hard on myself, that's the whole idea. I have to find the faults if I am to improve. It probably looks like compliment fishing , but it's along the lines of 'memo to self' - If I just think everything is 'nice', well, I wont get any better. I'm loving it though, it's not a miserable moan!
thank you by the way :-)
Not at all, it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Very light and delicate! Hope you can figure out a way to get that garage warm or else move your painting operation inside! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
ReplyDeleteThere is no way that garage - big , wood, broken window, gap under door - is every going to be warm. It's a choice between wrapping up or dragging my mess inside. ho hum :-/
