Painting completed! Able to finish up the work I started and shared in yesterday's post. I completed a goal I mentioned in my bio, which was to finish old projects, one down so so far.
A favorite color of mine is orange and I thought it would sit nicely in this colorful mix.
Just the warmth needed. Love it, it is just striking. I blogged about orange as a favorite color here, have a look.

I left off while I was playing with the color palette. I pulled some inspiration from my closet, cool paper and two vintage finds, the earring, and the cup. I was so thrilled with the orange flower that inspired me to paint a few more. I went ahead a created the trio for today's May Flower Challenge

The orange flowers you created are beautiful. I also love them with the mixed bunch because they really pop.
