A Supersized Spiderwort

 The colors very muted here. I actually used Quinacrodone Gold diluted for background.  Apple has “improved” my photo ap  I enjoyed painting on the Khadi paper but a smoother type would probably have been a better choice for this subject.

  1. Sweet. Especially the drooping buds. You're really using values to create shape for the flower shapes. Those sepiatone portraits have affected all your painting...in a good way. What's the size on this?

  2. Beautiful botanical portrait! The quid gold is perfect for the background.

  3. The flower is like a ball gown, and the background is solid, and the stem and buds are no slouches either.
