Purple Cone Flowers are one of my favorite perennials. They are bold and strong. I love how the flower morphs into a cone filled with seeds for the birds. It transitions my garden from summer to fall.
The green background was my under painting but I liked how it contrasted with the flower petals so I left it as a background. My next painting I will force the issue of negative painting as an exercise.
Beautiful treatment of the flowers - and very effective against the green background!

One of the best thing about the 30/30 challenge is the support from the whole group. I learn something all the time.
DeleteThanks for the encouragement, Connie.
Lovely painting. I have cone flowers in my garden too but I have never seen the birds go for them - I will watch more closely this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the positive feedback'
