Vibrant Hen Vase and a Warm Weekend.

I've finished my latest canvas painting and here it is. Do you remember it from an earlier post? I added some flower stems and some extra leaves and it was done!
It measures 25 x 35cm (12 x 10inches) and I've listed it in my Etsy shop if you'd like to have a look, click here. :)

 Here's the close up of the hen motif. I do love the shape of hens, don't you?

The flowers were fun to paint, I wanted the pinks and reds to really stand out in a vibrant way. I was tempted to use the fluorescent pink acrylic that I have but on this occasion, just a teeny amount of it was needed mixed with a touch of white because I had to take the edge of the brightness. If I'd used it straight from the tube, the other reds would have looked dull in comparison!

Speaking of bright, did you enjoy the sun at the weekend? We had the warmest weekend of the year after what seemed like the longest winter ever!

 A view of Goodrington beach on Sunday.

 This was taken further up the hill and is the view over to Brixham from Goodrington. I might use this for a painting one day. I love to see flowers silhouetted against the sea like that. :)

This is Goodrington Park, again I took the picture from the hill. I liked the way the trees framed the scene below. :)

So the weekend's over, Monday chores are calling, I'd love to spend some time blog visiting again soon and I will!

See you there!xx
