Studio setup for Citrus Sensation - Zinnias

Sometimes it is fun to take whatever is at hand and paint it - I chose zinnias because they were the only flower in the studio yesterday - can you tell they are artificial? shhh. It will be our little secret.

With a few lemons and a little green bowl, I set up my study and kept at bay those comments I have heard from artist mentors before, how hard zinnias are to paint. The lemons, those were real. I'll be squeezing them into a big glass of iced tea here shortly as I try to figure out what needs to be painted next.
