It's time for Sunday Sketches! Please stop by and visit everyone in this fun art co-op!
This acrylic ACEO is of a spider chrysanthemum flower. I love these, they make me think of 'bad hair days', wild and untamed but somehow appealing. I had a bit of trouble getting the proportions right, then I ended up lightening the green shade of the flower until it finally looked 'presentable'. The beauty of acrylics is that you just paint over what you don't like and keep trying!

Yes, this shade of green works very well.
I wish my hair would look as pretty on bad hair days! Valerie
I like the "bad hair day" comparison :). Lovely painting, the painting over thing is what I love about acrylics too!
I love these flowers and they make me think of day of the triffids, but they are so hard to draw or paint... you have done a great job...xx
Hi Christine, your art is really good and the bad hair day analogy made me smile.
Great work Christine, the shades of green works well.
Have a lovely Sunday!

Greetings from Cottage Country!
Looks excellent, Christine. Nice job. Love that style.
you are so right about the painting over wiht acrylics :D cant really do the same with oils - in that way - did you notice the AWESOME texture on the black created by (I assume) painting over the unwanted things?
Love your description as a bad hair day. You did such a good job that it does. Lol
Lovely job with this this. And that is a good point about acrylics, and being able to layer. (I'm so used to watercolors I forget how rich colors can look.)
A perfect comparison and a beautiful painting!
I love what you mentioned about Acrylic, I have realized that myself when I am painting. I love the comparison that you did as well, a true artist :)
xoxo
Pretty! kisses.
Lovely!!! I like that it reminds you of a bad hair day heheheh I'm having one of those right now ;0) I love acrylics for the very same reason too!! Lovely work!
Yes, spider mums are unique and I love your comparison. Yours looks very regal center stage like it is. Nice flow!
Ah, the bad hair day comparison brought a smile to me! The flower retains its beauty in seeming disarray and you have captured it wonderfully.
I like this very much! And cute story about the process in painting this particular piece.
Hi Christine,...Bad hair days...lol. I'm having one of those everyday at the moment. Love your picture. I don't mind that you pinned my pic to Pinterest, although I'm not a fan since everything that goes on their site they have all the copyrights too. Like your recipe above.. fun. :)
This is great... and I do love that about acrylics, just paint over it. The layers actually give it more character too. :)
