 When I think of Easter, I think of eggs, bunnies, jelly beans and spring flowers. Here is a painting I made using a couple of my Easter ideas: daffodils and eggs.

 I always found daffodils a challenge to paint. I found that if you do not get the right warm hue, or do not keep your colors clean they look terrible. It just takes patience. Another challenge was the ceramic pot. I love the shinny glaze and how it reflects the objects surrounding it. Tricky to do these reflections because of the texture of the thrown pot and the dark glaze. Again just with the flowers I just took my time and worked it until I was satisfied, working from the darkest colors to the lightness.

Happy Easter Everyone

Original Oil Painting Eggs in Glass Bowl

Paint on gessobord.

My friend, Mary gave me this lovely glass bowl. So with a little trail and error I came up with this composition. The complexity of the cut glass design was quite a challenge but it worked so well with the simplicity of the eggs and knife I decided to go with it. So with lots of patience, many breaks and luck the bowl turned out. Painting something like this fractured glass design can make your eyes go dizzy so I took one section at a time, one dab of color at a time. I hope you can see all the work I put into this painting and hopefully I captured the sparkling bowl for my viewers. Thanks for taking a look and leave a comment if you would like.
