Gladiolas


                                                                    
                                                                       12x24  oil

                           Saw these flowers and thought that i might be able to get a gestural painting out of them. 
               Very challenging to come close, but fun to move paint around. The red came through the flowers and into the cast shadows.  I'm thinking i might like to try to be more realistic but the flowers are wilting even though i've got them in water. Maybe i'll do just one blossom.

                Some flowers in the corner of mom's yard. I think the morning fog is not the best back drop to show off the blooms, because they don't pop out.
