Mountain Laurel Study


I have to admit these complex flower groups are hard to paint.  Love the species of flower, hate the time it takes to relay to impression to the canvas.  Each flowerett is different than the one next to it and there are so many....  it takes a little discipline to take a stoke of the brush and not duplicate it over and over in some mechanical, meaningless way.  Richard Schmid said it best when he related flowers to naughty little children, each one competing for our attention.
