The image is a photograph I took while standing in line for Mr. Toads Wild Ride at Disneyland this past Spring with our friends, the Browns.Since I obtained studio space I've been trying to work during the Second Saturday shows, so I've needed some relatively simple subjects. The flower filled the bill. The leaves were a different story. It's amazing (to me anyway) how much effort was required to paint a background I don't really want anyone to notice.
As in the past, I used only 4 paints for all the leaves (pthalo blue, cad red, cad yellow and titanium white.) The flower is Magenta, with dioxazine purple mixed in for shadowing and titanium white for texture.
