| This is what a rubbed-out painting looks like. |
I love receiving flowers, but I must say, I really don't like painting them. I'd so much rather paint a rocky coastline with pounding surf in the fog, than to paint a flower. Flowers are hard to paint. I spent way too much time this morning on my first attempt, then had to give it a "good rubbing" (as my old college art teacher would frequently recommend) I started again, and this is what I finally finished with. I still need to work on reflections, so I think I'm going to bring in a silver cup and leave it in the studio - just not sure what to put in it, since flowers are so darn awful.
After lunch, it was still raining (or rather misting), so I did a quick night-time painting from a photograph. I LOVE night paintings and really want to learn how to paint them - so much to learn!! I love the creepy glow from the florescent street lights - it feels so lonely. Some people actually set up outside and paint with a headlamp! This photo is not very good - too much reflection - but, I'm happy with this little painting and look forward to painting more.
