I took a better photo of the flowers I painted in oil. I enjoy painting flowers once in a while.
Studio BloomsOil on Gessobord, 11 x 14 inches
I also finished the pastel painting I started the other day, and the sun was out to take the photo. I like to take the photos of pastels in full sunlight. The photos do not require much adjusting on the computer.
Hill Country Spring
Pastel on Pastelbord, 10 x 8 inches
The colors on this are a bit more clear in real life. It was fun to do this painting from a photo I took a few years ago somewhere between Austin and Brady, Texas, probably. I wonder why the gate is open with no cattleguard? It looked like it doesn't have a gate to open and close. They must not have any cattle or horses out there in the country. There are buildings behind the oak on the left. Hmmmm. Maybe the name of the painting should be "Lost Gate", "Where's the Gate?" What do you think?

'Like both of these, Mom. You should paint flowers more. ;-p
I probably wouldn't have noticed the lack of a gate if you hadn't pointed it out
The flowers are lovely, Jo!
The gate? hmmm...I'm thinking you should name it, "Come on in, the gate's open"
Thanks, Joanna. I always like flowers. I think I will do a couple of small wildflowers and go from there.
Valerie, thank you for the suggestion. I'm thinking still. :)
Beautiful floral, Jo, I agree, you should do them more often! And how about, "No Gate Required" or "Heaven's Gate"?
Susan, thank you. I do like to paint flowers. I may use one of your suggestions for the gate. Hmmm.
I agree, more flowers. You did a great job!
Johanne, thank you so much. Your plein air is going great, too!
