April 4 Daily Painting Challenge

This is the painting for day 4 of this month's challenge. I worked with a colour that is tough for me...pink! The sun was shining on these silk flowers in my art studio as if to say "paint me", so I did. I added some calligraphy marks which is something I don't normally do.

"April Roses"

10" x 8" oil on board

View from Chase, B.C.

I spent 3 relaxing nights with my friend Sue at her family cabin in Chase B.C. It was wonderful and felt like I finally had a summer holiday. We biked, walked, kayaked, shopped, met a wide range of interesting strangers, enjoyed the sauna, delicious homemade meals and even managed to paint a plein air painting on the dock. The painting started with brighter skies and calm water and then a storm quickly came in, changing the view and colours in a hurry.

Sue took the picture below of me enjoying the moment.

 

 

And the final painting (left as a gift).....
