Eager for Spring I chose to diverge from architectural pieces for this piece to get a chance to paint some fresh colors. This 11 x 14" pastel painting is based on a photo I took at the Linnaeus Teaching Gardens at the Tulsa Garden Center last year. And guess what? They're open for the season next Tuesday! It's felt like a very long winter and we're having unseasonably cool temps for this time of year. But today was sunny and that was a welcome reprieve from the winter doldrums.
It also felt good to have a change of medium - messy, but good. I think soft pastels are such a lovely medium for portraying flowers, don't you?
