Cox Reservation, Essex Greenbelt, Essex MA
Oil on Canvas, 12 x 16 in
(sold)

I only had a small canvas, and I wanted to find a subject to do in a close up / study (rather than a big vista on a small scale.) Also I wanted to paint sitting down, and didn’t have a chair. Conveniently I found these flowers growing low to the ground. I settled in to paint. It went especially well in the beginning. After a little repair this morning (23rd) I think it’s done. Colours are nice and rich.
