"Verve"
24" x 24"
Oil on wrapped canvas |
When I talked with my friend about painting this hibiscus from a photo I took at the Lincoln Park Conservatory on Monday of this week, my concern was entirely about maintaining the verve I had captured in the photograph. I do believe I did it!
Today was a rainy day in Chicagoland. Okay, we had 4" of rain today, so it was a perfect day to paint ALL day. I began this at eight o'clock this morning and finished it at eleven o'clock tonight. "Alla prima." In one sitting, wet on wet. I ate, meditated, napped and ate again, but that is all I did once I began. I love rainy days.
