This weeks painting I whipped out to enter into an Alabama contest hosted by Energen (a utilities company based in Birmingham. I found out about the contest about a week ago I wasn't sure I would finish this one, but I managed to pull if off and get it entered on time, phew!! Camelias are beautiful and one of my favorite flowers in doing my research for this contest I found out it is Alabama's state flower. I've rarely paint flowers in their natural setting, I've usually paint them in a still life setting. I will say it was a bit of a puzzle to get all the shadows and lights in on all of those leaves.
This week was super exciting for me because I got to meet some of my favorite art bloggers.
Leslie Saeta and
Dream Tolle Perry were in Atlanta hosting a workshop and took out time to have lunch and say Hi. Leslie and Dreama have a fabulous and invaluable blog
radio show you must check out if you haven't I was beyond excited to meet them! I also got the chance to meet
Kelley MacDonald another blogging buddy. It was a great day!! If I ever convert to being an oil painter I will definitely take a Leslie and Dreama workshop.
