It is overcast today,
which allows me a break from painting.

“ Chinese Trumpet Flowers ”
1999
45.5 cm x 53 cm gouache on canvas
This is a painting I did a few years back in August.
There is a bit of contrast to my older paintings to the newer ones-
I don't use black outlines for contrast anymore.
I've discarded them, and the idea of them like training wheels on a bicycle-
I simply don't need them anymore .
The flowers in this painting, Nozen Kazura in Japanese
are everywhere I look, now...
They grow on a sort of vine,
that wraps and drapes on tall shrubbery / trees.
The flowers drop onto the ground
and replenish often during their bloom into
September...
Till next time... 'Mela
