I went through so many paper towels keeping these clean!<br /><br />Karen, I really liked Skip's demos. It was so helpful to me to see a plein-aire master!<br /><br />Thanks Celeste. The zinnias are so colorful.

I was especially interested in Skip, as I've thought of studying with him...and David, as he is easily one of the best teachers I ever worked with. Hope you learned so much and had fun!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657187768183498744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715268445448989787.post-91204582658280563702009-09-17T08:53:10.393-06:002009-09-17T08:53:10.393-06:00Kelley, We planted the minis by the vegetable gard...Kelley, We planted the minis by the vegetable garden, and they're not nearly as spectacular as these giants, and they're in direct sun!<br /><br />Thanks Dana, the red one was starting to droop on the side petals and that made a much more interesting shape.<br /><br />Debbi, Thanks. The background is the cement of our house foundation. The deck railings were creating a very strong shadow. But, I thought another straight, diagonal line would fight the stem lines. So, I softened the shadow edges while keeping the color and value.Pam Holnbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569629104736368674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715268445448989787.post-46979505910813492512009-09-17T07:08:04.044-06:002009-09-17T07:08:04.044-06:00Love the design in this piece and how clean clean ...Love the design in this piece and how clean clean clean you keep your colors.
