Painting 15 of my 21-in-31 in March!
I took artistic license with the background, which had another dark cow behind her in the photo. I realized that the brightness of her shadowed edge really stood out against the dark, and by leaving out the dark cow I had to find a different way to keep the side of her from becoming a lost edge (on the then mid-toned grasses.) So after brightening up the grasses to an extreme degree, it was suddenly calling to me to add flowers... Sometimes you have to listen to your inner voice while painting!
"Flora" will be with me at the Bayou City Art Festival, March 29-31, 2019 (unless she sells first...)
