Late afternoon grey #297

Daily painting #297 6"x6" oil on primed canvas panel

Only 3 more days to reach 300 days of daily paintings!!!!

We don't have much winter rainfall in Durban but this afternoon looked hopeful. In a month or so I will probably be one of those people moaning about how the rain just never seems to stop! As a matter of fact almost a year ago when I first started this blog and my daily paintings (almost a year already!!!!) I remember commenting each day on how the rain just didn't seem to be letting up! But right now it is bone dry! My grass looks dead and everything is brown, dry and dusty. We have had temperatures in the 20's, even high 20's (Celsius) ....hardly a winter for most! Our winters are lovely....only a little rain would be welcomed in my garden!
Late this afternoon the sea had turned a deep shade of indigo and the grey heavy sky seemed to be teasing ....grey has never seemed more beautiful! (For all my painting students....how many shades of grey can you see in the sky? Look next time ....it's beautiful!) But no rain.....yet!

Protea #296

Daily painting #296. 6"x6" oil on primed canvas panel $65

This beautiful very pink protea is rather hairy or fluffy around the tops. It looks like the kind of plant that could send my daughter into fits of sneezing and me off to hunt down the anti-histamine for her! But thank goodness it has had no such effect yet but I thought I would paint it quickly before it starts to dry a little and drop off all the furry bits from the top.... I might just have to get rid of it then!

For those of you who are new to my blog...proteas are our national flower and there are hundreds, if not thousands of varieties, all different colors and textures. I love having them in my home and so they are often in my paintings...
