My Summer of Flowers
Poppies in June, Day Lilies in July, Queen Anne's Lace in August, and now Shasta Daisies.
While composing this painting, I was aware of grouping and odd numbers as well as placing the daisies on the thirds. Three daisies against one. Also three muted Queen Anne's Lace to break up the background.
The darkest values were placed around the daisies and gradated as they recede to the edges of the page.
Also, study the colors. The painting is dominated by cool colors with touches of reds and violets. Again I mixed the greens on the paper.
And last: The title. "Hey, boys. Look at Her!"
