This semester is painting - something I haven't done since the 60s.

So this is my 3rd painting after nearly 60 decades of not painting. (And I only painted a handful of paintings then.)



The brief was to digitally manipulate a photo I had taken. (I merged two os together and then applied a few filters.), then paint it using the palette of another artist. I used the colors from one of Georgia O'Keefe's paintings. The colors on my teal/magenta flower are closer in real life to the colors in her palette.

The contrast between the gold/yellow and the teal/lavender. The patterns suggest an almost fractals design. Very ethereal. ❤️
