Flowers

or daisies or an obsession. It seems that I have decided to go with this style of flowers. I find them easy enough to paint and it allows me to get better. Maybe I have gotten better and maybe they are just the same, but it is practice and I need lots of it. It started with on of the yellowish flowers painted with the idea of a butterfly landing on it. I wanted a big looking flower and a butterfly to be smaller. In the end, the butterfly sucked. It really sucked. It was horrible. However, I loved the flower and have been painting them since. Here are some of them

These are all on the cheap 10" frames that I got from Joann's. 

The one below is on a canvas that I made.

I think I prefer my canvases overall. I buy the duck cloth from Joann's also. I love going in the store. Everyone is so nice that works there.

To add insult to injury about the butterfly pic on the flower, the paint peeled when I was trying to cover it and using a pallet knife. I now give a brief sanding to the cheap canvases to help with adhesion.

I will keep buying them since making my own takes more time, but I do prefer mine.
