Potted

"Potted" 7" x 5" Acrylic on canvas panel

I'm so drawn to colorful potted plants and flowers this summer.  I haven't seen many roses so I'm making do with what's available.  

I found a tool to scrape the canvas to "fracture" the paint as I apply it.  It's the Princeton Catalyst Silicone Wedge No. 1. I couldn't find the kind of scraper Julie Ford Oliver recommended, then remembered the ones by my friends at Princeton Brushes.  I'm using the dark gray one and I love the way it feels to hold it and the way it pushes away the paint… but also reapplies it where needed.
