Still in a flower mood at the moment. I was tempted to go over, this while it was still wet, with a piece of card to mingle the colours more. Maybe next time!

Day 23 in the 30 day challenge
SOLD
 

More red and more tulips for day 23 in the challenge. I love this red colour, it is Scarlet Lake by Winsor and Newton. I like to use it straight from the tube for a luscious red colour. When mixed with white it gives a lovely soft peachy/pink colour.

About this painting
I find that reds can quickly lose their vibrancy when the paint dries. To help the red stay bright, I always underpaint with yellow.

This painting is painted with thick impasto paint on a yellow ground. It's funny how an idea can spark off several paintings, especially when I have been procrastinating for so long about using these small canvasses. That's one of the good things about participating in a challenge like this, it makes you think outside of the box.

INSPIRATION FOR THIS PAINTING
Like yesterday's painting, this on was also inspired by the flower in painting No. 17.

This painting was inspired by the crop of the flowers in yesterday's painting.

I have had these 4"x4" canvases sitting around for a long time and never knew what to paint. When I saw the crop yesterday, it spoke to me and voila!

Stay tuned for another mini treasure tomorrow.
