I really love flowers. I love gardening and growing things. I love looking out my studio window and seeing blooms. One of my favorite flowers, besides tulips and peonies, are daisies. Just simple white daisies. I know, they are cheap, but there is something so sweet and innocent about them.
I was thinking about them the other day as I started this canvas in my studio and although I didn't quite create a daisy, I was inspired by the simplicity of the white and yellow blooms.
I wanted a simple painting but with a lot of texture. The entire bottom half of this painting is collage of book paper.
I kept my palette simple ~ blue, gray, brown and yellow. I used
Golden molding paste to create flowers that popped off the canvas. It is important not to use "light" molding paste for this kind of piece or joint compound (which is water soluble and will dissolve with paint on top). I used a
charcoal pencil for definition.
Can you see the texture?
My flowers kind of look like flying eggs, sunny side up. I think it works any way ~ a little funky, fun and elegant!
