I’m excited to share my newest oil painting, "Daffodil Dance in Deep Hues." This piece captures a single yellow daffodil set against a rich, deep blue background. I focused on the contrast between the bright petals and the darker backdrop to bring the flower into sharp relief, while the lively brushstrokes in the green leaves and stems add a sense of movement around it. The painting carries a slightly abstract, expressive quality that allows the texture and color to take center stage. This work grew out of a recent class where we explored painting daffodils, and I enjoyed translating that fresh inspiration into a vibrant, dynamic composition. measures 6"x6"

I really loved doing this Lost Cabin and have plans to do this larger. I like how the shapes came together and the colors.

In this online class we have a photo reference and a demo to watch..   The way I do this is I watch, sketch my photo and then paint. I try to do this in under an hour. Rusty Jones is an execellant artist and I have known him since I became a member of OPS  Outdoor Painters Society.    Great group by the way..
