Lilacs in a Watering Can - Stage One |
This painting was conceived in reverse. I came across this beautiful little frame that had a 5x5 inch opening. I have never used the 5x5 inch size, although I have been enjoying the square format. It was simple enough to cut and mount a linen square and stretch onto a 5x5 barn board square. With this style of the frame, I envisioned a painting depicting a delicate floral image of some kind. Lavender or bluish flowers would be perfect complements to the silvery tone of the frame. I created a square thumbnail drawing that seemed to have a "not too symmetric" feel.
No fresh lilacs were available, but I found some fine images that were usable. The light source in my favorite image was from the left so I imagined a nice country window casting light on the blooms, watering can and antique chair.

Hi Maureen, I am the administrator of a Facebook page called “You Know You Grew Up in Cohasset When” , and I have just recently began compiling a photo album on the site of Cohasset Art. I was wondering if you would allow me to post images of your Cohasset works on the site. I would, of course, give you full credit and add a link to your site.
Thank you for your time…..here is a link to my FB site’s Cohasset Art photo album:
