This project was special for me because the inspiration and pigments came straight from my garden! 🌺🍃🌸✨
These were my 1st attempts at using flower petal and leaves with Acrylic paint on canvas. I needed to learn how it would react in UV light, under varnish and with other materials like Acrylic paint and linen canvas. I waited days to see what would happen with these before making the largest painting of my life (so far--I will show you someday😉). The colors DID change and I did varnish it for protection and experimentation. These came out so sweetly. Once I am completely done with the large one in the studio, I'll post the whole story of how this project came to be. For now, enjoy these little sweeties. 🌺✨🌸
