Daily Practice
Journal
Ah, flowers -- they're all around me lately -- and with the rain and hot sun, they seem to be exploding in colors and quantity.
This 'splatter and splash' (I really am enamored with this method! LOL) was done over the weekend. I used my friend's 'iridescent medium' on the stamen, and in real life has just the nicest bit of shine and glitter in the throats of the flowers.
It stormed again last night with another battering of rain ... the weeds are having their way with so many of the gardens ....! LOL
During this time of campus life when most students are gone, it's a plethera of paperwork that keeps us inside -- budgets, plans, meetings, reports. I suppose that could be a good thing in all the heat -- lol
Hope your day is cool and sunny!

Not only beautiful colors but great depth in the blooms!
Lovely painting Lin and so bright and colorful. It reminds me of all the Karlyn's paintings I was looking at in her latest book and on her DVD yesterday. You capture her style beautifully!
Big hugs,
