Garden Phlox

Garden Phlox
Oil on panel, 6x6
Ahhh, a step back into sanity for today's painting.  My gardens are full of these lovely blooms - and they have been fabulous this season!  As the heat reached 100 degrees yesterday, the hot days are now taking their toll.  So, I am capturing them with paint - while I still can, knowing they will not return until next summer.  I hope to get another painting or two before they make their exit!  This is painting number 249 in as many days, and Day 9 of Leslie Saeta's 30 day painting challenge.  Click on the link to see what the other 400 artists are painting today!  It is so fun to connect with others who face the same daily painting challenges :)

    1. Thank you! It is so fun to use those loose marks when painting multi-bloomed flowers! I also do it for hydrangea and geraniums :)
