Gallery Flowers #2: Red, Orange and Yellow Lovelies

Fun, pure fun. I just had to paint the flowers at the gallery again. Someone brought in these red and yellow flowers (can anyone tell me their name?) and I painted while it was my turn to sit. It's great to just let the colors flow and play with the salt. Look at the colors in the photo of Hildy's lovely loon paintings and pink, yellow and orange seascape on the wall to the right of the desk. I let them inspire the background of the painting. And yes, that's really how I set up to paint this time.

Vase of Orchids Card and Envelope

Last Thursday when I was sitting in the gallery, I was looking for things to do while I waited for people to come in. We're encouraged to do art work in the gallery, so I found this deckled edge card in my purse, took out a pencil and drew the orchids and vase someone had brought in. Then I drew over it with a regular black ink pen. The next day I painted it and the back of the card and wrote a note to someone and mailed it. I think I'll do this again!
