Beautiful, Lyn. These look like pink coeopsis, and you have captured their delicasy perfectly.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a party. Similar to the wonderful Grand Re-Opening Reception at your gallery on Friday evening. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteClaire you know your flowers. I couldn't remember the name of these until you said coeopsis and that sounds right. They are very delicate and flutter in the breeze - so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary Beth, it was a good time and I'm glad you could make it. Hope you enjoyed yourself and met several other artists.
ReplyDeleteLyn, these flowers are done so well. I really like it when a plein aire artist can narrow down a subject to paint. I often forget that. Really nice painting.
