Repeating the same mistake I made yesterday. Values are too close together. But I like it. There is actually a bit more warmth in the foreground, couldn’t get the scan quite right.
Happy painting, felting, drawing, collaging everyone!

Fairest Flower. 5 x 5 acrylic on paper. © 2015 Sheila Delgado
All the names I know from nurse:
Gardener’s garters, Shepherd’s purse,
Bachelor’s buttons, Lady’s smock,
And the Lady Hollyhock.
Fairy places, fairy things,
Fairy woods where the wild bee wings,
Tiny trees for tiny dames–
These must all be fairy names!
Tiny woods below whose boughs
Shady fairies weave a house;
Tiny tree-tops, rose or thyme,
Where the braver fairies climb!
Fair are grown-up people’s trees,
But the fairest woods are these;
Where, if I were not so tall,
I should live for good and all.
Finished this at 11 :50 pm. Downton night. There are just a few copper dots, (they look
brown) both in the border and the bloom. They add just a hint of shine. I might add more of the copper.

I have tried for a week, to get ahead. I stayed up later than I should have last night. Painting and playing with color. I am actually ahead a couple of days now. That has never happened before. I was so tempted to show you all the paintings today.
I really like this piece. So much so, that I am going to show it to you two ways. Let me know which is your favorite.
This is how I painted it, using gravity as a tool.

I left it to dry upside down, when I came back to it, this is what I saw.

I was trying for more of those little “explosions”. When that didn’t work, I added more blue and let it work its way down.
I also went back and added more of a shadow to yesterdays heart. It is not showing as well in the scan. It shows as a thin line, but the color blends out into the surrounding area nicely.
