Another Approach to Anemone - Lin Frye

Another Approach to Anemone
1/8 sheet
Arches 140#CP

Though these flowers are rather strong in their structure and their petals are firm and often colorful, I wanted to try a different approach to them....I kept the firm outline of their petals and centers, but wanted to soften their surroundings to feel a bit like the softness of springtime ...

This 'differing' of approach is always interesting to me -- to 'see' perhaps how someone else might paint the same subject in a style or way that is as different as their handwriting from my own ... Always something new to learn and consider.

A busy day today and tomorrow -- yesterday was incredibly beautiful - but hot - in the 80s! and we're due for a repeat today. But tomorrow and the weekend? A plunge into winter again as we hit the 30s - and all of us worry about the flowers and fruits that have been tempted by the warmth ...

Have a great day!

  1. Absolutely beautiful. I love the pastel tones and the flowers stand out just enough to be recognized. Great job doing something different.

  2. Very pretty. It is very soft. Hope you don't get quite as cold as predicted.
