Angelique


Another floral, 5X5 oil on canvas, even looser than before. I went to the Impressionist exhibit at the Kimball in Ft. Worth about a week ago. First of all, what a wonderful exhibit, but one quote really stuck with me. It was from Renoir who said that he "let my brain rest when I paint flowers...I establish the tones. I study the values carefully without worrying about losing the picture."

That is what I am trying to do with my florals. Always striving...that could be my motto:)
