"Hyacinth"
6x6 oil on museum quality panel
$95
This is one of the demos that I did this week for my students. I've been trying to show how I start paintings with simple shapes and allowing the definition of the subject to come at the end of the painting. I'm much less concerned with kind of flowers these are and more about capturing my emotional reaction to the colors and shapes through the design and brushwork. I think it's a good thing that I had no clue that these were Hyacinths because I might have been more likely to paint an exact replica. Sometimes, clueless is a good thing.

Wow. Double Wow! Whatever the subject, whatever the NAME of the flowers, this is a wonderful, joyful piece, that takes you for a dance around the flowers. Great painting!
Agree - this is a delightful small work. It captures the shapes/colours with deft brushstrokes making it lively.
Super double wow! Love it!
Very pretty...You do wonderful work.
what a great lesson in both shapes and a beautiful complimentary color scheme-nice
Love that reddish color peeking through balancing the blue and yellow...triple wow!!
These are just beautiful...reaching for the sun...whatever they are :-)

I also think you have a dark reddish wash that you used to paint over... That just makes those lovely colors jump out!!
