The garden phlox is really showing off this year, especially against the neon green of the potato vines! We've had just enough rain to keep them lush - so now I'm busy capturing them in paint! I like to add permanent rose to my palette when I paint these flowers, the cads and alizarin just don't quite achieve their color. I'm painting small and using a scrubby brush to lay down those color masses. I find I'm using the Princeton catalyst polytips for the grunt work, saving my Rosemary and silver whites for the finish work only. Why not? These polytips really take a beating and keep on making the mark. I'm so glad I stepped into the world of synthetic brushes after a lifetime belief that natural bristles ruled. Painting number 2025 in 2025 days.
