Bouquet II, oil on canvas, 12″ x 24″. I did a quick gesture on canvas in pencil based on a real life bouquet. This is my third flower with black background study and I love the way the colors pop! I took my time with this one, started it back on April 10th, went on a birthday vacation, worked on it some more, went on another vacation and finished it up within a few days after returning. I devoted myself to one flower at a time, as each flower was dramatically different and each had different challenges whether it was the shapes, texture, or the colors.
