The Rhode Show

The Rhode Show

20x20"  oil on linen

I've been eyeing my neighbor's rhododendron for several days...wanting to paint it so badly!  Finally was able to get some clippings today!  

I wanted to keep it light and airy, so I worked at staying high key.  I found that the "blocky" shapes in the flowers themselves lent themselves to a little different technique.  I kept the brushstrokes sharp and treated the whole painting as angles and shapes.

Thanks for visiting my artwork blog!
