I took a photo of this in the springtime, and just got around to painting it. For the various background greens, I mixed the colors rather than use greens out of the tube. Wow! What a difference it makes. They have a much richer quality to them. It's hardly discernible in this photograph, but in the flesh, the colors are more saturated. Painting is an ongoing series of lessons and discoveries, that's for sure. (Actually, I custom mixed the colors for the flowers as well, since there wasn't anything that came close from the paint tube.)
My love of the arts began early on in life and was greatly influenced by an inspiring photography teacher in high school. I began teaching myself to paint in 2019 and have had my work exhibited in numerous shows in the Detroit area. One of the joys of being an artist is looking at the world in totally different ways and discovering a painting or photograph in a million unexpected places. For inquiries: dominmark@yahoo.com
