I had an empty wall in my house.....unheard of for an artist!! After much deliberation, I decided I wanted to hang a couple of florals I painted a few months ago.

Dreaming of Dogwood

I wanted to inspire myself to try more of this style, very loose, and painted with lots of transparent colors and lots of medium.

Daffodil Days

So far, I have had a problem trying to dupicate the look!!!
A further complication.....the original paintings are 6x8" and I needed larger pieces for my wall.
That was a problem I could solve. I ordered giclee prints on canvas, increasing the size of the prints. I have to say they came out wonderful. I even manipulated the color slightly on the dogwood to work better in my room. Thankfully, I was able to take high resolution images of both paintings, allowing them to be printed in the size I desired without losing detail in the image.
Now, I just have to keep practicing until I am able to duplicate my technique.
Thanks for visiting my blog today!
