This wood frame gives it such a warm, cozy feel ...reminds me of all our vacations in cabins in the woods ππ

Red Barn

tis the season of pumpkins ππ

I put these down on a table and loved the way they looked like they were hugging each other π€π€ ...and that's what I tried the capture in this painting - the warmth, the care,the support and the protection of nurturing relationships πππ

My most ambitious Still Life so far...and also my favorite ππ¨
.
So I started painting this after making sure that flowers will last a couple of days, and set aside 2 days to paint it!!.... but I was surprised to see how these pretty flowers kept evolving and transforming continuously ...2 buds actually blossomed on my Still Life table.....And as other flowers also bloomed or aged or responded to sunlight (or lack of it) they continuously jostled for space and pushed each other to this side or that even if a little bit!! .....constantly changing my composition!! πππππ Its a very subtle process but a very beautiful one.
.
After about half a day, I gave up trying to put them back in their original position and just went with the flow...enjoying the "growth" and the beauty of "life" with them!
