Twice a year I participate in the "Strada Easel Challenge" where artists around the world spend the month painting only from life (no photographs). I've been painting in this challenge since 2017 and have found it to be a great work out for my painting practice and a great way to start the year.
This piece was completed on Day 21. This was a late evening paint session. An overcast afternoon meant no golden hour glow this afternoon so I set up under some lights but a warm bulb gave me that same warm glow. This was the first time painting this vase which was a bit of a brain bender but it gives a contemporary feel to what is sometimes considered an old fashioned flower. 💙💜
