Plums and Hollyhocks

Sometimes when you get stuck, it helps to set the painting aside and come back to it another day. These pink hollyhocks were being truculent and a bit argumentative yesterday. Today they yielded to the pinks and pale blue hues. This is painting number 10 in the 30 in 30 Challenge by the talented Leslie Saeta. Tomorrow I am giving an art demo for the Mid-Cities Fine Arts group, then back to the studio to produce painting number 11, along with a new four foot aspen commission. No pressure or anything....!
We were celebrating in Flower Mound Studio, with a visit from a dear friend Virginia Smith, and the grand finish of the four foot custom container garden for a client in Florida. If someone had told me when I was 16 years old that someday I would grow up and be an artist, I would never have believed them. It took me a while, but at last, 35 years later, here I am! I love my new job!
