Polka Dot Garden


 12x12" acrylic on Da Vinci Pro Panel (cradled panel).

A friend gave me these flowers for my solo show which wraps up tomorrow.  They were so beautiful I had to come home and paint them quick as natures natural course would soon take over.  Before adding the polka dots the painting didn't look finished.  It wasn't my original plan to add polka dots but it made all the difference.

Having a solo show was a great tool for self examination and seeing a whole room of only my paintings was an eye opener.  I haven't had a solo show since my graduation show so so many years ago.  The show was a good experience.  I even stood and gave a talk in front of a group of people, definitely out of my comfort zone.  Absolutely nervous in the extreme but the teacher in me took over and saved the day.

Still haven't figured out mailing on these larger pieces but if you're interested please email me through Daily Paintworks (click on the link to the right).
