Bromeliad Mary Jansen 3.5 x 9.5"
I'm kicking the year off with a burst of color. I love the Bromeliad collection they have at the Garfield Conservatory in Chicago. These plants look as though they have landed here in little space pods from alien planets! It would be fun to do another Bromeliad using a rainbow of colors...perhaps I shall! On my pallette now however is a Green Heron and miniature for a spring show. So much to do! So little time! Happy New Year's!

I really like bromeliads and have quite a few reference photos that I have never used. You did a terrific job on this one and the format is perfect.
Thank you Vicki. It's funny, this one started out as an exercise, (just experimenting with some different paint combos and the like) and then it just kept building on itself. I have to be much better committed to my painting schedule if I'm to get any of my real work done! Still though, I had fun with it. There's nothing like a burst of color for the ol' winter-starved eyes to feast upon!
Lovely Mary. Reminds me of Hawaii! Loved Hawaii. Here again the wide format. It's kind of cool working that way round eh? The colors are so beautiful in this one.
Thanks Jean! I needed some bright colors in my life to keep me going through January. Some colors are a bit much though...even for winter. I've designated them the harlots of the palette and use them ever so minimally!
