Day 3

What on earth possessed me? This is harder than it looks. Especially when you have young kids rampaging the house.

This is Day 3. Red Gerbera. 15 x 15 cm acrylic on canvas paper, mounted (25 x 25 cm) and backed ready to frame £40.

Gerbera, next to lilies, are one of my favourite flowers. I find them fascinating...the shape, the imperfect symmetry. and their dogged determination to survive in the harshest of conditions.

I love the way you have painted the petals, really subtle, I am sure if i were doing this I'd end up trying to outline each one and it would look naff.
Very soft and beautiful painting Sue.
