Paint Party Friday - All Occasion Card

Welcome to the month of August, time to turn those calendar pages.

This is all occasion greeting card in acrylic (5 1/2"h x 4 1/4"w) for Paint Party Friday.  I was looking for ideas of what to paint this week.  I settled on some kind of greeting card.  There were a couple of birthday cards on Pinterest with daisies on them that I liked.  But my daisy didn't look right, so I decided to make it a chrysanthemum!  I'm quite pleased with the way it evolved into something of my own.

    Oh yes, this is such an attractive arrangement with all the grey space. Your painting of the flower and leaves is beautiful.

    Beautiful mum and the colors are gorgeous. I like the dark background because of the way it makes the flower stand out.

    Looks good Christine - the layering go the petals certainly gives it that Mums' look.

    Chrysanthemums bloom in May down here and are often associated with Mothers Day ( also in May) so this would be a great card for that occasion.

    Oh this is so beautiful! And I think it's a wonderful experience to see when something unexpected develops from what we think is an error. I love this chrysanthemum!
