Anthurium

This little beauty of a plant lives center stage in my living room window which faces southwest. It amazes me and everyone who see this Anthurium that she thrives so happily for she prefers the tropics, not Washington.

Need I say, I love the shapes and colors?!

After doing a watercolor sketch, I knew that it would be fun to create an image of the colorful Anthurium with water-based oil paint. I am falling in love with this medium.

No Excuses

I am using the holidays as an excuse for not painting even though I do not believe in excuses.

In order to set the record straight, I will gear up on artistic creations since I have one month to complete the sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project 2012.

I am amazed by the spectacular blooms of the tropical plant,Anthurium, which has a predominant spot in the living room window that faces south. It just loves this spot and graces me with blooms year round.

After completing this sketch and watercolor of the Anthurium, I am considering a full size painting.
