#281 Magnolia Blossom, 3/4/2020

I started this painting a month ago...sketched it, and started painting.  I only got as far as the stems/branches.  Then it sat.  While I stressed over things at work.  And then I took a break for a week and went to our now-yearly sojourn to Key West, Florida.  Ahhhh, it was wonderful!  I came back somewhat refreshed, and jumped back into working on the 300.  Finishing the Magnolia Blossom was first on the list.  It was difficult to get the white petals against the white petals to show up.  Other than that, it came together pretty quickly.  I was painting on a red canvas, which I like because there is a nice warm undertone.
