Thinking about painting from memory 

Orchids from Denise's basement

This is still working...I think I want to flatten the white into the background more and use color to pop the magenta orchids put more.

Rework: Lilies and Iris from Memory

I reworked this: the lilies and shadows are better.

Irises and lilies from memory

8" x 10" oil on canvas board
I drew the cartoon a week or two ago....the flowers were long gone, so I painted this using the cartoon as well as referencing the other paintings I did of these species of flowers. There is a dream like quality to memory work....one only remembers what is essential. I do think I need to work on shadows more.
