Still Life Flowers, WIP Linda Rupard

I have had a wild day in the studio today fun but work.  This is one of the 3 I have going now.  I was mixing each palette on paper plates & switching palettes as I changed paintings.   One of the plates was in my chair that I set in sometimes & yep I set on it,  just lucky plate was not too full  This one is getting close but see that more work needs to be done .  It is acrylic  on a one inch cradle board panel so no frame is needed.

Hot Summer Flowers Linda Rupard

I needed a change so I dug out the Yupo paper & put washes & splattered paint. Then I found these flowers in the paint & using negative painting I brought them out. I used liquid acrylic paint very watered down, it went on like watercolor.

Texas Blues

I did a little research on the TX Bluebonnet & found some interesting facts about them. Blue Bonnets covered the wild TX prairies. Indians have some fascinating tales about them. The early day Spanish Priest gathered the seeds from them & threw seeds around their Mission's.

This practice caused people to think the Blue Bonnets came from Spain. This can't be true because 2 of the prominent Blue Bonnet's can be found no where else in the world except TX

That would explain why a different Blue Bonnet was on an older TX map & the Blue Bonnet that I was familiar with when I was a kid back in the good old days. Blue Bonnets are a trade mark of TX. The Blue Bonnet that I knew was really in the shape of a lady's hat. If you have never seen these fields of beautiful blue it is worth the trip.

Remember Easter
