This is the, as promised, second painting done from a pinterest inspiration. It is also done on Ampersand. I think the Ampersand boards might work better if you don't paint alla prima. Might have spelled that wrong...but meaning wet on wet. The boards might work better if you let them dry at least overnight between sessions. But my goal somewhat demands finishing the same day as the start. Speaking of which, I'm at 240, 60 more to go with only 58 days in the year. I'll need to double up here and there! Daily painting will have to be literal!
I was much happier at the end of this painting than I was of the primitive bird. Again, I sketched it myself. Even though the colors of the flowers seem a bit muted due to mixing to easily with the background colors I still like it. My least favorite part is the table, which looks "primitive". The flowers though, they look impressionistic. Tap, tap, tapped most of that on, adding more and more on the edges so the flowers would stretch out to fill the board.
