Dahlia Daze

"Dahlia Daze"
18" x 24"
Acrylic and colored pencil on canvas

I sat on a short wall to rest for a few minutes and saw the under side of what was probably a fantastic dahlia.  It was a "petticoat" view of something I'd normally only photograph from the top.                                                                                                                                                                                            

The painting went okay, but I lost interest in trying to create all the subtle texture in the leaves, so I reached for my colored pencils.  Exactly what I wanted!

This painting is listed with, and for sale through a Daily Paintworks Auction. 

Thank you for visiting today.
