New Floral Canvas Painting

Acrylic Paint, Acrylic Pens An Soft Pastel On Polyester Cotton Canvas

100cm x 76cm

Hi there😊  I finally finished this floral painting which I seemed to have been working on for a while.  I was distracted, mostly by health problems but that’s life.  I am happy with how it turned out in the end but there were more than a few worrying moments.  I did have a lot of fear because I’m painting in a process driven way and part of me is still scared to trust and let go.  It is a lot like riding a horse in so many ways.  By process driven I mean that the painting gets made up as I go, kind of like improvisation.  I do make preparation sketches in Watercolour of flowers that are difficult and that I am unsure of but I don’t plan much.  I think I have talked about this before.  So I am pleased with the colours and the life in the painting.  I know the composition isn’t perfect but I like it like that.

So the weather is cooling here and it will be winter soon.  I hope wherever you are that life is treating you okay and you are all feeling okay.  I am not sure what is next painting wise but I will post about it.  I will do another floral, I have a vague idea of what I will do.  Thanks for looking and reading.

(Description:  two images of a large vertical canvas painting of flowers and leaves in a grey coloured square vase with white polka dots.  The flowers are in a big bunch in blue, pink, orange, yellow, brown, light pink.  The style is almost loose and there are little details added with acrylic pens of different colours.  The background is a very light yellow/gold colour.)
