Paintbrush

 Paintbrush
8x10 Acrylic on Panel Board
In this painting I wanted to pay special attention to the memories I have as a child when was I so intrigued by the petals of the indian paintbrush wildflower. They reminded me of a flame going from pale yellow to that wonderful intense burgundy at the center just like a fire!  The reference photo for this painting was also taken in New Mexico so the colors are more intense. The use of a number of glazes on the petals achieved the flamelike blend that I wanted to accomplish. Thanks for viewing my blog. Prints of this painting are available at FineArt America.com , http://fineartamerica.com/art/all/donna+page/all,
