Pretty, Pretty Posies!

 I have been working on a new piece. I started with a 20x24 canvas which I have coated with black gesso. 




I added just a few colors to start my background plus a few marks. 

After a few more marks I began to see flowers. Do you see them? ...

                

 and then I found MORE flowers!

                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Just a few more colorful views

 

here is the finished piece -

I think it's kind of amazing how it goes from boring and dark to THIS colorful. I would have never guessed that I would end up loving this painting so much!
