While sorting out my little art room over the long weekend, I found two paintings that were unfinished - both will fit the series I'm working on for the "male" versions. So I have to find more "female" versions of plant life to paint. I do have one I'm working on right now so stay tuned for that...
This one =
Half sheet (15 x 22 inches) Arches 140# cold press
Plant Life: Male No. 3
And, biologically, I know that a flower has both male and female parts but I'm just going on the obvious (or not so obvious) shapes to guide whether I call these male or female plants :) Hope no one is offended but gets the humor - it worked for Georgia O'Keeffe, didn't it? Of course, she wasn't happy and always said others saw things in her macro flowers that were NOT there (and sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, Sigmund!)
Oh, work is soo beatuiful, especially colours, Rhonda! Hahahaha! Thank you, I could laugh well with your post. Yes, both of us are interested in Gerogia. Best wishes, Sadami
ReplyDeleteI like this series! Good job!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorites of your paintings to date, Rhonda! The color saturation is phenomenal! And I love the sense of humor (I am a dirty girl, I guess). Made me smile this morning for sure. Not an O'Keefe fan at all but do like what you are doing here.
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes, Batman! The hot reds in this are D-licious! Really nice work, Rhonda. I want...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sadami, Deb, and Sherry :)

I love this painting, Rhonda.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jennifer Rose and Christiane :)
ReplyDeleteI love the delicate colors in the white flower and the bolder colors in the background and leaves.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol :) Really like your last painting - totally not something I'd paint but you do it so well.
