Bec's Flowers

Here is my latest painting, titled Bec's Flowers. It is acrylic on MDF which is framed out in the back with 1x1 lumber. I made these as a two panel set. Each panel is about 10 x 24 inches.

I really struggled with these paintings. Mostly because the two different panes involved. I wanted them to be different but at the same time I wanted the colors to be the same. I originally tried a blended background having one color fade into another. I just couldn't get the two panes to match so I gave up on the idea.

After many attempts I finally arrived at the finished product you see here.

I hope you enjoy.

Blushing Flowers

Blushing Flowers was painted with a specific spot in my house in mind. It is now hanging in my dining room which is between my family room and kitchen. Since the Umbrella series is hanging in the family room and Sheboss' kitchen has a lot of reds I painted Blushing Flowers to tie the two together.

I was going for a little bit of minimalism which is new to me. I tend to want to fill the canvas but I stopped myself with this painting. I won't lie, it took some will power and encouragement from Sheboss to walk away and call it good. In the end I'm glad I did because I'm thrilled with the final result.

Hope you like it.
