$90 - 5x5" original oil painting with 1" deep painted sides.

Well, I started this painting with a deep violet toned board. I love that colour of purple and I hoped the warm reddish/pink would enhance the cool flowers I set up to paint.

I put up a big "SQUINT!" sign. Thanks to Lisa Daria's awesome online workshop and the ongoing reminder to squint, squint, squint! It really does help see the values.

I like to paint the sides the background colour. : ) Cheers ya'll!
