Blue Columbine.

I wrapped up this painting this past Saturday. Just in time since it needs to be dry for the buyer to take to Wisconsin for Christmas. The buyer had seen the Purple Columbine painting I did awhile back & requested the same composition only in blue. I feel that this photo doesn't give the inner pedals the attention they deserve. Creating depth while keeping the pedals a soft blue was quite a challenge; however, after applying a couple of pastel blue glazes using a fan brush the pedals came to life! I'm very happy with the final piece.
