Green Dahlia is hanging in the Chesapeake Bay Watercolorists Show at the Wells Fargo Advisers in the Dominion Towers building down by Waterside in Norfolk. It will be there until December 13 and can be viewed by appointment by calling 757 622-8261. It won an honorable mention in the show.
This flower was part of a Mother's Day bouquet that I received from my daughter Kim. The color was so unusual it inspired me to paint it.
As I started the painting I gave myself some challenges to work on. First of all I wanted to have both soft edges and hard edges. I think that I could have had more soft edges as the hard edges prevail. I also wanted to work my values. I usually have different values in my paintings but they blend together and do not have great contrast. In this painting I definitely have the contrast and I really enjoyed making the lights pop out by being next to the darks.
Setting up challenges is a good way to move your painting skills to the next level. Meeting the challenges is very satisfying. But you need to remember that this is still working your technique and that is only the tool that you use to to express your inspiration.

I never imagined my life could change so fast. I struggling with some unpaid bills and financial stress for years, and I was constantly wondering how people are able to win the lottery so big because I sometimes play the lottery but never won any big amount, I sought spiritual guidance from DR WALE after I heard about him, how he has been helping people with the lottery winning numbers, and not long afterwards I won the $19,000,000 MILLION Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball jackpot with the numbers he gave me. That incredible win completely transformed my life. I was able to pay off all my debts, purchase a brand-new truck, and make sure my children had everything they needed to pursue their dreams. I also chose to share my good fortune by supporting local charities and helping families in need, because I know what it's like to struggle. I'm sharing this to remind whosoever seeing this that hope can inspire people to keep believing, even during difficult times. Are you also having issues in your marriage if yes contact DR WALE he's the best in brining EX - Lovers back together. he will help you out.
