Today I added oil paint to a piece I actually finished in 2022.

“I worked for about 10 hours on it, it’s called Scarlet Serenity. Tomorrow I’m going to lay in the deeper colors at the bottom, finish up the sky, add a bit more texture to the petals. I’d love to do more of these, it’s a lovely change of pace! Share your favorite flowers or landscapes, please I’d love to see them!”
