Learning to paint again - part 2



I had not got back here to share more of the pictures i painted this year. This one is a Spraxia Lily closeup. I love lilies andi love spraxias, so this caught my fancy. I loved the way the petals go into a whorl where they join. The background seems flat and dark, but in fact it has a texture of whorls, done with the end of my brush, which echo the one at the base of the petals. I loved painting this, though it was such a strange experience to be painting again.
