Red Star Daisy Delight is a small study as I work through a couple of future paintings in my mind. I always begin the painting long before I prep the canvas. Ideas about color come first, then the flower, then dark background vs light background, still life versus vignette, etc. Sometimes I see a particular part first - the separation of the petals on a gerbera daisy laying on a white cloth in the studio today made me instantly realize I would be painting red gerberas, even though I had fully prepared to do a large hydrangea still life. Sometimes it's good to go with the flow, when the muses start singing, rather than change the station... Visit my art blog to see what inspired Red Star Daisy, and get a peek at the studio director in all her furry glory...
The fresh daisy stars take a bow!
