Flower Power Painting

flower_power
My daughter painted this on Sunday afternoon. I only did the blue background, at her request, because she felt I would be more careful about not painting over the objects in the painting. I also did one darker green line, in my efforts to show her that if one adds a color in several different tones (say, light, dark and medium), one can achieve more of a sense of realism. My daughter wasn’t terribly interested in my words of wisdom, but she did request that I put this on the blog. She was looking at my geranium perennial when she painted this; I hope to post some photos of that lovely plant sometime in the next week or so.

Please click on the painting to see more detail.

Beautiful work! Nice composition, too. I like the way the smaller flowers encircle the central blossom.
Please tell her her art teacher is very proud!
