This is the second work that have for the still life gallery previewing this evening from The Artist Challenge. Often a still life is an "arranged" setting with flowers, vases, luscious cloth coverings. The leaves are "lost" or become the backdrop of the beautiful floral renderings. I love greens. Appreciate the variations of the veining in a leaf that too often becomes secondary to the setting.
300lb watercolor paper provided the backdrop for channels, paths and secret garden delights for the acrylic inks and fluid acrylics. Each morning am up early to water hanging plants. As the porch faces east the morning light pours on the flowers and front flower beds. Love working outside when painting. Something about the early morning that makes the paint flow more freely.
With the garden watered, flower beds spot weeded....turning to the paint to finish another focus.

Lovely, delicate.
Joanne, so good to hear from you. Thank you very much!
I soooo love the cool blues that seem to dominate your art Sonya. They are almost dreamlike. You are a true artist!
There is such a crispness to this Sonya, yet softness with the colour. Much like a dubonia silk with a batik overlay. Such joy ! I feel you smiling while you paint enjoying the beauty of the morn. :)
Dearest Rogue--thank you so much for the comment.
Oh Cheryl, lovely visual in description---yes absolutely right there are some pieces that you just smile your way through. Thank you
