Daffodils 12" x 12" (30.48 cm x 30.48 cm) Acrylic on stretched canvas Another flowery still life painted for the A nos pinceaux challenge. I painted these daffodils, Narcisi in Italian, while it was snowing outside, can't wait for spring! As usual I did not stick to the original colors, I had fun changing the color of the vase, trying to get a tetrad color scheme going: yellow, orange, violet, and blue. This is the original photo that Evhe posted for the painting challenge. Tetrad color scheme shown on color wheel

"Bouquet of flowers" 12" x 12" (30.48 x 30.48 cm) Acrylic on stretched canvas I'm way past he deadline for this: it was suppose to be for the January's A nos pinceaux painting challenge, but I was not happy with the background, so I kept going it until it made sense to me.  I have to admit I ended up looking for ideas online, and getting inspired by Cezanne's background in his Flower's in vase. Now I'm pretty happy with it, and I learned a lot during the all painting process.  :)) Evhe has been so nice that she posted it on the challenge's blog even if I was late. :) "I could paint for a hundred years, a thousand years without stopping  and I would still feel as though I knew nothing.
