I used my own photo of part of my front garden for a ref - I just love these flowers that seem to go on all summer long.
I would rather LOOK AT YOUR gallery than just thank you for faving my work. So please excuse my bad manners if you fave or comment on my work, because I may not be thanking you. Instead I will be looking at your work!
Very nice, Wendy! (I'm working on a painting with lots of flowers and trying with a palette knife but might end up with brushes. Recently have become attached to the knife - once a dislike, now the opposite!! My paintings are more aggressive with the knife!!)
I know just what you mean, the first time I used a knife I thought 'not for me' but now I love it. You can get such great texture with it and it has definitely freed me from worrying so much about detail - it's very liberating!
