Rusty Reds



I think I am addicted to painting these flowers! These flowers were actually a save because they were fairly bright red until I put a green center that spread into the leaves and turned them more of a rust color. I need to remember my own teaching about painting with the neighbors on the color wheel. But actually they turned out ok. I like to pull out some stamps that I rarely use (I have lots of those!) and try it on the piece.

Hi Martha,
Ah, I can see why you're addicted to these flowers.
At least flowers and art are the best addiction. lol
Hugs,
Anna
