Flowers & Foliage
One of my big loves in life is my plants and blooms! This painting depicts my first attempt at creating a flower garden. The Amaranthus and Coleus leafy plants filled the color scheme I had in mind, and some mixed-color Marigolds completed the look.
After researching information on my new eye-candy, I disappointingly learned that I had planted annuals which would only last one season. So, I grabbed my art brushes and began painting my garden images onto a canvas I had at home. I had painted the entire background of this canvas the year before (surprisingly, in the same awesome colors as my garden). The background colors and foreground plants were meant to be!
I have since replaced these plants with perennials of a similar color scheme. Once a flower floozy always a flower floozy!
