hibiscus in orange. ( water colour) Sept. 24, 2010

I seem to be fascinated with this hibiscus. I have many other flowers and objects to paint, but this flower keeps coming back up!   So.. this is the hibiscus for today.  Still working on technique, but making progress I think. Trying to get the contrast that is there, 'in real'.

    What is more interesting in the painting that you are doing - tells us more than the "photo" of the flower - is that we understand how the painter feels. And it is this feeling that is the soul of all work!

    Thanks Lisa.. and wildgirl! It is fun to explore the many possibilities and choices.. and then in one stroke.. you get it or you don't! Risk taking, without any real risk..lol!
    and it is true.. that if you don't feel it, nothing goes right.. i have tried just as an exercise, and couldn't even draw it.. far less paint it.
