Bright Bouquet


This painting was creating by throwing droplets of water onto dry paper. Then splashes of fresh paint are thrown, dropped and sprinkled, mostly onto to the top half of the paper.  I am careful to avoid colors that would produce browns or 'mud' when they intermingle.  I used opera, yellow, orange and alizarin crimson to start this painting.  Next I formed a container for these droplets, soon to become flowers.  A background is painted in,  being careful to leave white paper around the drops to create shapes of flowers.  Greens for leaves, spikey stems and darks for values are added.  The finish is a very fresh looking painting that is one-of-a-kind.
