Than...Thank you Brand... lovely to read your post.<br /><br />Thank you too Carolyn, I think the darker the greens...the more dramatic the contrast.<br />I love the burro too. He seems so lifelike and friendly! Just a small painting... but almost more perfect in it's jewel like scale.<br /><br />Thank you both for posting!Carol Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079373279744656248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744619184745308158.post-62604365681196419132011-07-27T21:21:59.192-07:002011-07-27T21:21:59.192-07:00Hi Carol... the magnolias are strking, and you'...Hi Carol... the magnolias are strking, and you're right, the richer the green the more the flower pops out from the paper! I also wanted to comment on the burro. He is unique and darling. <br /><br />thanks for sharing! ~~carolynnCarolynnzArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302614468415104039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744619184745308158.post-75602016488154794602011-07-27T04:38:06.702-07:002011-07-27T04:38:06.702-07:00Beautiful work.

I don't know what it was-- they just seem to be so lush!<br />You must try the Lavender.... I think you will love it.<br /><br />Thank you Laura.... the maganolias were amazing this year. I have never felt like painting them until this June. They remind me of the South - where I grew up. I think they are wonderful blossoms to work with -- so large and dynamic. Give it a try! oh yes... I worked hard at making the paint fluid and yet..controlled.
