I am using flowers as my inspiration for my paintings this semester. Well, flowers or images that vaguely identify with flowers 😉  …  A challenge to find ways to make a subject that is very common in paintings my own.

I am really focusing on learning about composition – what works and what doesn’t. This painting isn’t totally completed but I like where it is headed. The “flowers” are just part of the design and not really intended to be read as flowers but more as shapes and colour in the painting. This was painted on my trusty MDF board – so not intended to be a finished piece but rather an exercise.

I have a few more MDF paintings to go before I commit to using better quality wood panels and canvases as my substrates.
