Posies - New Floral Works

Back a few weeks ago I decided to work on some color studies and chose florals as the basis for this study. Florals are something I haven't painted in years but they were ideal for my intention of doing paintings in a variety of different colors, many in combinations that I would never usually choose. I also wanted to use more paint in my work. I often find that I am very mean with the amount of paint I use and am trying to cover large areas of the canvas with a miserably small amount. The idea was also to work very loosely with no attempt to create real flowers but just to give the impression of flowers. I really enjoyed this exercise. You can see the results in my "Posy" Gallery here on FAA.
