I don't really like painting still life - but I took a couple of hours this afternoon and painted some fading flowers that Ellen gave me. I hated to see them go, so now have a momento. ;)
There are about a thousand things I could do differently on this painting but overall I am semi-satisfied with it. I used a very limited palette - mars black, titanium white, lemon yellow, cad red deep, green oxide and a touch of ultramarine blue.
