I have been busy working on another piece, and I was hoping to be able to post it this week, but The best laid schemes of mice and men....
This however, is my first attempt at the hibiscus, and I am happy with how it turned out for being my first try. I love flowers, and feel that their essence should be caught in many different art forms. Spring is coming, and I am waiting with baited breath, to smell deeply the freshly washed air that comes after the spring rains. Chinese brush painting is a fun and loose way of painting for me, it helps me not get to tight and wrapped up in the details. The flowing ink that can not be erased or fixed, the delicate paper that soaks up the ink and water, the art form that has been around for centuries, it is perfect beauty.
I think my next attempt at the hibiscus I will be a bouquet of flowers, that could be beautiful. I have also decided to do the same picture in multiple mediums to see how the different mediums impact the subject. I think I will need to locate a hibiscus photo that I can begin to paint in various mediums. Have a great week and take the time to appreciate the beauty around you!
