"Summer Cosmos"

"Summer Cosmos" Acrylic - 9"x12" Mary Maki Rae 2018(c)

*******************************************

I've Been working on some Acrylic paintings on Watercolor Paper in a more "simplified style". This one of Summer Cosmos - I've painted in a modern-style  Pitcher of Blue-Violet and Lavender.

It seems to me that any color composition - if it contains Red - Yellow - and Blue - always works-!

I've been working on some new designs using Gouache - a water paint that dries flat - it's quite enjoyable. Always liked the design possibilities of elephants and I wanted to paint a "Happy" one -!

Working on a new Painting - love the fresh Green Color - need to add more to the background and a few more details like flowers or plants. 

Must visit a plant store soon for more Flower Inspiration-! (See above how she looks Completed - Just added two more flowers & a leaf to her hat. And a few little color changes - decided  to keep it simple - letting the colors and composition speak. . . )
