The Key
I am an artist. I have been painting and drawing since I was 3 years old. After spending too many years and too much energy doing other things I am back to my original path. I won scholarships and awards for my artwork as a child and young woman. For the first time in a long time, I can declare that I am an artist 24/7. Visit http://www.trudybentleyrech.com/
The plumbago flower has a very difficult to photograph and paint color. I am some paint straigt out of the tube to get the intense purple/blue hue seen in the shadows of this flower. It is a challenge to get the right feeling.
