Botanicals #16

sixteenth painting

It is warmer. I am still in the front yard under the twin pine trees. So many birds, rabbits, squirrels and dogs and their walkers romp around me going about there important activities.

I am trying to show the structure of the violet plant, how the leaves are heart shaped with tiny ruffled edges, how the flower has a head part that juts out behind the flower and how all the leaves and flowers connect at a central base stock. I am painting an accurate rendering and then surrounding it with dirt and a confetti of pine needles and flattened dried grass.
