Cornflowers.
It seems I am back to the flowers again. I have used them on this blog once before. I did paint yesterday, a second attempt at producing a painting to complete my four seasons but I did not manage to produce something I feel happy with.
These blooms fit , almost , with the story of my other blog. They do not have thorns, rather they are often looked down upon as old fashioned and dated blooms. My father used to grow these, now they are hardly ever seen in gardens.
Yet they have a stunning beauty and their colour is vibrant.
This was one of my early attempts at flowers, I have never got any better at them. I see so many beautiful flowers painted by others on their blogs. I saw a drawing of a beautiful rose just last week , which would have fitted this story even better.
They were painted in acrylic and they did actually sell fairly quickly after being completed.

Beautiful bouquet of wildflowers!
ReplyDeleteLove your blogs and your stories very much! One disadvantage of seeing the blog subscriptions on 'google reader' is that I don't take the time to post comments on the posts. Happy painting!
ReplyDeleteLes fleurs bleues ont toujours ce "truc" un peu magique, exceptionnel... et ce bouquet en fait partie.
ReplyDeleteBisous à vous,
These cornflowers are SO beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning colour they are. I think their colour works beautifully againsts the Ochre of the vase. I'm really enjoying your series of flowers :0)
Thanks for posting such inspiring thoughts and paintings, Ralph. I always enjoy coming for a visit.
ReplyDeleteRalph you painted my all time favorite flowers. Zinnias, giant marigolds,bachelor buttons and petunias are my other faves. And I have a row of lovely iris that were spectacular this past summer. Guess I am an old fashioned kind of gal when it comes to flowers. This is lovely! Good luck on your abstract seasons paintings. I am sure you will get them figured out.
