Botanicals #13

thirteenth painting

My daughter's whole class walks by me painting in the front yard. They are cleaning up the neighbourhood. She says hi. Many of them say hi.

Delicate violets on their thin stems. I painted this fragileness by using thin brush stokes. I painted the optimism of spring by using a soft bright pallet and a churning directional movement.
