"It's a green shutter day" Gifted to Wade's guest room

Whew! I decided to enter the square foot show in Bismarck again, they provide the canvases  ( for a fee) and I get to create. . It is fun. I re-used the shutter idea from a bike painting I did last year..that part was easy, I stewed for several days over the flower pots..I actually thought about putting pears on the window sill..eek. . I only used 5 colors plus white on this......

3 seasons of the garden sold @ G4 today 8-25-23

What happened to me today? After an entire weekend of sitting and binge watching Netflix. ...I got busy and painted this in 3 hours...reference for the tightly painted florals were photos of hubbies flowers.  The loosely great flower on the upper right was throwing and stamping..THEN I attempted to loosen up the rest...  no rest for the detail monster, who lives here....

Hi followers o mine,  I've been really "art-lazy" this year. I spent 2 delightful months in oregon visiting my family. .  Did no art.
. I drew this since I'm home, not to paint, but to practice my drawing.  I had cut this photo out of the newspaper and saved it 'cause it tells a story. She had lost her hubbie in a farm accident, and she was looking out over the barn yard.. touching..
