8x12 oil on canvas "Wild Verbena"
In the spring of each year wild verbena makes a bold statement all along the roads and fields all over Georgia. Sometimes I just have to pull over and just thank God for all the beauty He sets before us. I've tried many times to transplant wild verbena, but never been successful; the best I can do is try my best to capture the inspiration in paint.
Lesley came to paint with me this afternoon and we started on a seascape, but she had to leave early so I thought it might be best to put that one aside and wait until she can come back and we can pick up together where we left off. I worked most of the afternoon but was interrupted by yellow kitty again this evening. Yellow kitty was so very hungry and his little belly was all sunk in so I called Anna Mary to see if I could come get a cup of food. Some folks borrow sugar, not me... I borrow cat food. LOL After getting yellow kitty calmed down, I went back to painting and painted the wild verbena inspiration painting above. All in all it was a good day painting and I'm ready for day 20! Can you believe it!
I really like this one, Phyllis! I think you are back in the zone. Can't wait to paint with you again in Oct!
ReplyDeleteThank you Durinda. As always I see stuff I want to fix and could have painted on this the rest of the night. Looking forward to painting with you in October too.
ReplyDeleteI love your painting! I didn't know verbena grew wild anywhere! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tammie, so very much.
DeletePhyllis,
ReplyDeleteYou are running rings around me, doing a painting a day!
I think I see a hint of Brilliant Pink?
LOL, yes, that is Brilliant Pink! Didn't get to finish my painting today and don't know if I can paint this weekend. I'm getting behind, but having fun.
DeleteLovely painting. And the countryside is lovely in the spring when the wild verbena blooms in FL too. You've captured it.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love the wild verbena. I look forward to seeing it bloom each year. Thanks for the compliment about my work. I haven't painted in a long time, but like riding a bicycle, it comes back to you. :)
DeleteThis is gorgeous!!! The colors are fantastic .. Love it!
