I was inspired to paint this after seeing another artist post her painting on Facebook. I do have a couple of photos of this interesting magnolia, but rather than try to find them among my disorganized files, I just googled it and found one that didn't appear to be copyrighted. The painting that inspired me was done in only French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna, with a couple of minor touches of raw sienna and sap green, and was very striking, so those are the colors I used. I am going to try to use this as a demo for my senior class tomorrow. I want them to see what can be done with a limited palette of my two workhorse colors. 11 x 15 on Arches

These blooms are just lovely. The previous one is too. Would like to be in a class of yours. You should move to Texas. :-)
Thanks, Jo. I'm glad you like them. As for moving to Texas, not likely. LOL But if you ever move to Northern New Jersey, I'll make room for you in my class. :)
