Good morning! It's a brisk winter morning here but we're up with a cuppa in hand, ready to take on the day! Are you ready? I sure am! Uh huh. :)
I started the painting above late last night. It's a new style for me and a huge step outside my comfort zone as I've always been more at ease focusing on a particular subject, such as a tree, animal, etc., versus an entire landscape. I shared my WIP with a friend this morning and was told it reminded them of Monet's work. Although I was reflecting back on a Renaissance painting on my grandmother's living room wall of a girl sitting in a field of flowers, it's obvious I was inspired subconsciously by Monet's piece. Of course, I won't be selling this! Oh dear me. Anyway, I'm looking forward to doing another piece, this time of my own inspiration entirely. :)
I've a love for poppies and desired to push myself to paint a piece beyond the delicate, red flowers in themselves, as I usually do. I'm amazed at just how well it's coming along thus far and depending on the final piece, this could very well be a new wave of paintings (and personal creative growth) for me!
Happy PPF to all my lovely bloggie peeps!
