Seasonal Flowers

Each year I paint daisies in June, Queen Anne's Lace in August and Rugosa Roses and Rose Hips in September.  Things are a bit early this year, so here are the rose hips at Ocean Point.  

Red and green are not only Christmas colors; they are also complementary colors.  The red of the fruit stands out because of the green, but I made sure to vary the greens, both in color and value.
I painted the red fruit first and then surrounded them with the greens.
