A friend sent me this photo to paint. She knew I would like it and I do. I love gourds.  I embellished the flowers as I thought they would look nice and bring our the gourds.  The painting is done on a  12"x 9" stretched canvas.  There are pinks,greens,purples,grays and some white in the painting.

My neighbor is a physician and an avid gardener. He brought me this lovely flower from his garden before the deluge last night that would surely have pummeled it to pieces. A lovely surprise on an otherwise dismal afternoon lifted my spirits. Flowers can do that, as acts of pure generosity. Had to paint it. A fun filled alla prima hour for me.
