Flowering Branch 2

























We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.

Charles Kingsley


Of course, the ticket here is to find something to be enthusiastic about. And nothing fires my enthusiasm to paint more than going to an art show. This past week we went to a magnificent Fine Arts Fair in Palm Beach. On display were works from all around the world ~ both traditional and contemporary. What a treat!

I've put the background and leaves in on this little painting but am a little concerned as the drawing seems to have faded. Perhaps I didn't make it dark enough but I was concerned about covering the pencil lines since the flower is going to be white. We'll see.
