Blue Flower Petals
Acrylic on Canvas
I don’t remember what type of flower this was, but it’s a close up view of a cluster type bloom. I glazed it afterward with some acrylic medium mixed with blue. Just something a little different.
I really enjoyed yesterday’s blog hop. The best part was getting to know the members of the group a little better. If you get a chance, click on any of the links from yesterday’s post to see some amazing art.
