During a past Sketchfest, I had a bunch of bright colors mixed for another painting and rather than waste them, I sketched a flower garden. I'm not even sure whether I uploaded the sketch The canvass sat there for a while, not inspiring me.

I had a bit of blue and white paint left over from something else last week, so I picked the painting up and painted the sky in behind the flowers. It's amazing what a difference that made. There is a shadow on the canvass in this picture, which is partially obscured by the watermark.



The line from a song came to me: "The spirit of the plants has come to me in the form of a beautiful, dancing green woman."



There's a lot of detail to do still, and clearly some things are missing altogether (for instance, she needs hair), but it's a start.

Comments are welcome!

I LIKE it! The addition of the dancer turns "pretty" into "pretty dynamic". The flow of the flower petal dress is interesting; and I'm waiting to see how her hair moves.

I have to think about the hair. The photo I'm using as inspiration and to check proportions of body parts is of a woman with her hair pinned up ballet-dancer style, but I'm not at all convinced that is the right choice for this painting.

I agree. Pinned-up hair doesn't "flow" much, you know.

Not yet, though I did read a rather in-depth review. I don't get to the movies a lot, partially cost and partially--habit, I guess? Or inertia?

I did go see Hidden Figures, though. It's very, very good!

I came here wondering about a card reading and saw this. I know that song but no idea where it comes from originally. Do you know?

That's a better clue than I've ever had before, lol! And I thought about googling the line at about 1am last night lol!!!

I would like a card reading but not sure how it works, I did read your page but still didn't understand what I need to do?

Ah right I get it now. I've never encountered a paypal link presented like that.

I'll have a think about what I'd like to do :-)
