Hibiscus Bold
12 x 9 |
In this winter weather, I am returning to some old photographs of Hibiscus that I originally painted in watercolor. The intervening years of experience and change of medium reveal interesting changes in my approach. I find that I still appreciate the original composition. However, my drawing skills have grown tremendously, allowing me to move objects and lines that I never would have adjusted before. In the oil paint, I have considerably more range of color expression available to me. I am less focused on the details and more aware of the overall effect. A revealing benchmark painting.
