End of pink bunch #658

Daily painting #658 8"x8" ink and acrylic on primed panel

This beautiful pink bunch has served me well in my studio this week. Despite adding a touch of feminine beauty to my studio (I really am a floral, flowery kind of girl), they have been wonderful full bodied blooms to paint from! But they are nearing the end...petals are starting to fall like leaves in autumn and the leaves are starting to turn brown, shriveled and dry. The beauty of painting from such a bunch is that the blooms get to live on a little longer...even if it is in the painted image!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend. We are going into our second weekend (two more to go) without Andrew (my husband) around, but the good news is that the Gemini Arabians won their first game in the Masters Cricket League last night in Dubai! We are SO delighted for him!
A happy Friday indeed!

Falling pink #657

Daily painting #657 8"x8" ink and acrylic on primed panel

I have painted from this bunch of roses for 3 days but it is SO incredibly hot and humid that the beautiful pink blooms are beginning to fall over....to droop and wilt in the unbearable heat. The pink heads are hanging in a state of desperation. I feel quite similar by midday when the heat seems to sap every ounce of energy from me. I might just be able to paint them for one more day and I have topped up the water with ice blocks to try revive them a bit. I have however taken lots of photographs. I have some rather big canvases beckoning from the corner of my studio!
