#127 6/17/19 Key West Succulent

I've been sitting on my Key West Flora photos for a while, and decided I needed to at least try an easy one.  This is the one I selected.  I thought it would go fast.  It didn't.  I needed very few paints on the palette....green, yellow and brown.  A bit of white.  Brush strokes all leading out from the center thingymabob.  Seemed straightforward.  But it didn't really look like what it was until I took my rubber-tipped brush (which I use to sign the paintings) and pulled off paint on the edges of each frond in long strokes.  Then, finally, your eye could make out the edges and I called it quits.  I think if I pair this painting with another (more obvious) Key West Flora painting, it will fit in OK.  Otherwise (alone) I think it will look weird.  Although - I could claim it as an "abstract"!
