I am having a hard time deciding which direction to go with my next painting. I was thinking of a cultivated flower garden but now I still have some ideas for a creative wildflower painting. Flower gardens are beautiful but I prefer the interaction of wildflowers and I am not surprised that Natural Rhythm is my most popular floral.
I am always amazed at the beautiful designs found in creeks. It is like an artist that has studied design for decades placed everything in a perfect composition. Sometimes I arrange things differently from what I see for a strong effect which is what artistic license is all about. It is always an arrangement regardless of the initial inspiration.
My last floral was mostly made up based on systems of wildflowers I have seen. I place the flowers in patterns that I have found in many natural arrangements. Anyway, I hope to get past my hesitations soon and get started.
I was out of gesso but it arrived a few days ago so I have primed the board. I can't believe how different the gesso is. It looks like whipped cream. I guess there is a change in how it is made these days.
Time to step away from the disheartening news regarding the pandemic. I am discouraged by all the hype that it is a hoax to interfere with the upcoming presidential election. I hope people do not fall for that. This virus is nothing like the flu. Don't fall for the line that it is not a devastating illness. It is. Stay safe!
