Bloom, daily painting by Everglades artist Jo-AmmSanborn

Bloom, 2015, Jo-Ann Sanborn

oil on board, 8" x 8"

This bloom was left over when the rest of the bouquet had past, so I took it to the studio with me one day.   Instead of painting it in the little vase,  I set it in a garden, so it will have flower friends surrounding it forever.

The photo for this one is a little dark, even though it's a fairly moody painting.  It's acrylic, but done in an oil style, meaning that I used a little more paint than I usually do, and there's a bit of texture to it.  We've had such gorgeous sunsets and sunrises lately, and this one shows the sun setting with light on the water.  It's got a companion piece that I'll post soon.
