I saw the light streaming through the window on these as the vase sat on the carpet and wanted to try to capture the interesting colors in shadow.

Porch Bougainvillea in the Afternoon

I have painted this bougainvillea plant that has been living on my porch for decades a few times, mostly 20 years or so ago. The color of bougainvillea in light is so stunning but there is no paint they have invented yet that can match it. I caught sight of it though this afternoon as I was debating what to paint and thought I’d be brave and give it another go. I thought I was going to have to scrape this one because the lighting was making it appear strange and I was losing light, etc., but actually once I took it in and photographed it, I was happy with it–and I’ll have to try it again sometime soon. It would be interesting to show you the one from 20 years ago, but right now I feel too lazy to mess with it. If there’s a big demand, I’ll re-think that.

I did it! 30 paintings in 30 days (with a couple cheats). I love how much I’ve improved…and all the times I stepped out of my comfort zone. I’m going to take some kind of breather…we’ll see what’s next!

It started out as such a gray foggy day that I was thinking about painting indoors…and then the sun popped out…and this was painted in the noon day sun…where I was melting on the porch. The mums and daisies came from a trip to Trader Joe’s again last night.

Here’s a photo of me in the sun.

I love the dark purple/bright yellow contrast. This vase had given me more headaches than I thought possible when I tried it several months ago, but after all that painting in January and February, it was much easier to paint in a way that I see it.
