Artichoke 4

I think thats enough of the artichokes,for a while anyway.I've enjoyed painting them because they do have such a strong structure and great colours.I've bought a bunch of tulips in four colours which will hopefully keep me busy for a while.Although I did want to do one more forsythia painting before they disappear for another year.

There's something comforting about rain on Sunday.......A nice quiet day at home with the family and time to paint.........Everly Brothers in the background......bliss.

I have been listening to Adele "someone like you" all day.Her voice is how I  imagine Vincent van Gogh's paintings would sound if they were music.....rich with colour and texture and such emotion.Does that make sense?? I usually prefer to mix my colours but I bought this colour called burgundy and its so lovely I know I will be using it again.
