Paint Party Friday - Parliament Hill

Welcome to Paint Party Friday hosted by Kristin and Eva. I saw a pretty photo in the newspaper, it was entitled 'flowers blooming on Parliament Hill, Ottawa'. This is my version.

Time to go see what everyone else did.

    Isn't it amazing how we find inspiration all around us and how uniquely each of us interprets it?! :) Happy PPF! :) Keep them coming!

    A beautiful idea to create something that you've seen as a photo. I love the yellow of the trees, it's warm and buttery (in a really good way). I especially like the big clock!

    Nice work, Christine! I like the contrast of the yellow blooms against the darker tones of the clock. Great idea to use photos from magazines as inspiration for paintings.
