I always admire my artist friends acrylic paintings and their ability to show light. So this was my focus with my Chinese Lantern Flowers. Can I show the depth of light?
I often painted these lantern in the fall in watercolor, but never seemed to get what I wanted. With pastels of course I can get very close and detailed. But the focus was to show the light, did I succeed?

You are very accomplished. I love the lantern flower picture...my favorite.
ReplyDeleteCatching the light I think was successful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pastel! Your passion for flowers definitely comes out in the lantern flower. I agree, you captured the light perfectly on this flower. The pieces I like the best from you are the one's that aren't overly detailed and more painterly/loose in style. You should feel proud that you've been able to arrive at a style that is distinctively yours.
