Day 30

 

Oil on Canvas

5 x 7

 

Confession time: this is actually the first poinsettia I painted. With this one,

however, I used a silk flower. Whereas in the grouping I posted yesterday,

 I used real flowers. The real flowers have almost twice

as many petals (or I should say bracts) as the silk ones making it much

harder to simplify. Question for the day, when you first saw this

could you tell it was painted from a fake flower?

Side note, this simple looking teapot was a dickens to paint!
