This painting is based on one of last year’s photos which was way too busy- absolutely crowded with blossoms. My first pencil sketch looked like wallpaper. Then I noticed the crossed stems and the shadow on them. It made an interesting shape and meant pulling the Indian Paintbrush forward while letting the daisies and bluebonnets drift away to almost nothing. Several iterations later, I am finally pleased with the interpretation.
I am SO ready for spring!
