It all started this afternoon with a flower in Lucy's garden. My daughter Lucy told me to go look because it is the brightest orangey red flower ever. So I did. And it was. So I grabbed my sketchbook and did a quick watercolor sketch. But then, I just couldn't get that orange out of my head. It was stuck there like a melody that won't let go.
So I pulled my outdoor oil kit out and set up to do a quick painting from my sketch and a few pictures I took, while I sat on the deck and listened to some music. I'm still getting back into the swing of things with oils, but I am not unhappy with this little 6x6 oil on panel study of Lucy's most orange flower in the world :)
