Thistles


I'm back in the painting groove again. I was going through a bit of painting block so I decided to change tack and paint some flowers instead of the usual landscapes and seascapes. These thistles grow prolifically on the trail we use to exercise our dogs. I have taken a number of photos of them but until now have not attempted to paint them. I like to keep my flower paintings loose, leaving something to the imagination for the viewer. I did two paintings because I wasn't quite happy with the first one, and I am still not that happy with the second one. I may have a third go and if it is better will post it.

  1. I like their softness and the colours are very good together as well. I myself find it very difficult to use plasticfoil in my painting, it´s difficult to get exactly what I want out of it. But I guess it is about tha continuing afterward too that matters. I THINK I like the second one the best. I´m looking forward to the third try too :)
    Wellcome back!! See you later then!
