J is a big fan of bouganvillas for some reason. For me personally, growing up in Pune, it was one of the most ordinary flower. It grew everywhere and in abundance. Almost every compound wall I new was covered by it, making yhem a nice cozy environment for my nemesis, the common gecko! Uuggghhhh....
Anyways, J had a nice flowering bush in his little patio garden this Spring and I had an extra canvas.
This was half way through my class at WAM as well. So I painted it using the shape technique, not painting flowers, but asking myself what shape I see and is it cooler or hotter than what's next to it.
I love the outcome.
