One more detail to round out the day, though the tease has past. Here’s another detail of the crepe myrtles scene that’s in the works because mooshing the painting around is why we paint.
crepe myrtles are the best
Ta dah! Well, here’s an early swipe at a crepe myrtles painting measuring 40 x 30 inches. I love everything about crepe myrtles — love the flowers, love painting them, love the season when they bloom while cicadas are singing. And I am loving using acrylic paint in transparent veils of color — somewhat watercolorish looking in character, though very different from watercolor in the painting of it.
teasing a bit more
Here’s another peek … clearly a landscape in the works! I am loving using acrylic paint in veiled layers.
the tease
So, I’m going to be a little dramatic. Why not? This is detail numero uno. A little bit of warm color to start the day.
