I didn't think I would be able to find anything to paint because there were so many flowers so much color it was hard to take it all in. Finally, I settled on this curious structure with the plants around it. I have been trying to grow those Brugmania trumpet flowers at home, no success yet. The fog was thick to start with, but the sun came out strong after about an hour and a half. The sky shows the break up of the fog, before it actually did. There was no blue sky visible when I painted the sky, but I was expecting it.
Larry, As I said in person, the strong contrast between the dark vegetation around the tower and the dissipating fog and light ground is quite succesful in this watercolor. So is the loving detail of the pine outside and the Brugmania.
ReplyDeleteYou beat me to it Rebeca. I am impressed with the range of values in this painting. Love the Brugmania (one of my favorite plants).
ReplyDeleteIt was really nice to meet Larry and the rest of the group at Annie's yesterday.
I also look forward to see Marilyn's view of the small Brugmanis plant (I think) in the front as well.
Larry,
ReplyDeleteI love this one. The composition's very strong, and so is your handling of each part. The vegetation's wonderful, in suggesting the variety of foliage. Nice job!
Diana
Love this Larry!
ReplyDeleteLarry,
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful--definitely one to consider for ProArts.
