Whose Side Are You On Anyway?

6"x6" oil on gessoed masonite board

"Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together."
- Vincent Van Gogh


This might be the last of the sweet peas, at least for a little while. It's been fun arranging the various colors we've planted this year, they range from dark blue to pale blue, pale pinks to dark fuschia & coral! The fragrance is what really amazes me.
I broke out the brushes on this one. It did feel a bit odd, as I've been using a palette knife for about the last 2 years solid. Just a fun bit of experimentation, starting with a flat sable brush, and then moving up to a big round bristle brush for more texture in the blossoms.

It's sort of funny, when I laid out the cherries, the stems were all pointing at each other. Sort of in an accusing manner, hence the title, "Whose Side Are You On Anyway?" Never thought they'd take on such personality!
