My Husband gave me cut flowers for Valentine's Day last month and told me that I should paint them. They were very beautiful but as time past, I procrastinated and many of the flowers wilted and had to throw them out. After weeding out the wilted ones, I cut down the rest of the arrangement a bit and placed them in water in a medium size milk pitcher. I have to say that I'm not very good at arranging a floral bouquet, but I don't think it mattered too much, I was simply going for a more natural look and not fussing about with them. The colors in this painting are bright and beautiful and the Gerber Daisy takes center stage amongst the carnations, staring you in the face, a fabulous focal point. Sure glad it lasted for as long as it did!

This painting will be on sale for the month of April, at the Hughes on Tenth Studio on 10th Street in the Kensington area. Hope you can drop by!
