This is one of a series of flower paintings I have been working on. It is smaller than I normally paint 12x16, but goes into the depth of the flower. I love geraniums, but find them diffiult to paint. This year I had some wonderful colored ones on my terrace outside my studio, so decided to
focus on the closeup. You want to get into them, to see what they are made of, not just the full heads, which are so beautiful.
Please see the post on Georgia O'keeffe's view of painting flower, May 2.
Here I have tried to do what she suggested, paint it big and look deep inside.
