Blue Metal Teapot with Dandelions, Blue Pot and Yellow Flowers

You have to paint fast to paint dandelions because they do NOT last.  I sketched the teapot in pencil and painted first on the dandelions because they were wilting and closing and otherwise would not make it to then end of the painting.  Another painting of my favorite teapot in strong top light.  On my ETSY store

Blue Metal Teapot on Blue with Chrysanthemums

I was thinking of painting daisies in this painting, but it was too early for daisies so I got chrysanthemums - you can tell because the centers are green, not gold.  The nice thing about the mums is that they last and last - and made it through at least two paintings.  On my ETSY store

Blue Metal Teapot with Two Chrysanthemums SOLD

The favorite blue enameled teapot makes another appearance, this time with two white chrysanthemums.  I like the scant amount of white in the white flowers - it contrasts nicely against the darks of the teapot.  The simplified color scheme is very harmonious.  I like the lost and found edges and the simplified painting in the flowers.  This will be at the Vashon Island Art Tour  this weekend May 13 & 14.  Stop # 23 in Dockton.  Be sure to visit! Last weekend!
