"For Sarah"
I have a wonderful coworker and friend, Sarah, who is retiring this month. Her favorite flower is hydrangea. Wanting to give her something that she might find "special", I decided to create a garden scene featuring hydrangeas.

What a wonderful retirement gift. Lucky lady and the painting is simply gorgeous. This year has gone by so fast and we still haven't gotten together. I am determined to visit in January. Miss you lots.

Très joli travail Steven, belle composition, ton dessin m'inspire, les fleurs sont un magnifique sujet car le soucis du détail est important!
ReplyDeleteMerci d'être passé sur mes pages.
Bonne journée à toi.

Salut Cath
DeleteMerci de votre visite. Je ne voudrais étudier les détails de plantes et de fleurs. J'ai trouvé que le dessin au crayon est un bon moyen de le faire. Aussi, je trouve qu'il est utile de faire une étude rapide de la composition et de la valeur de ce que je veux peindre.
Joyeuses Fêtes à vous et aux vôtres!
Steven
wonderful gift
