Yes, the 'fake' comment is really not relevant in these still life paintings. I learned still life primarily from Dan Edmondson who teaches that the objects in the still life are guides to color and shape and composition....not something to be slavishly copied. The 'fake' flowers gave me suggestions for color and placement and I was on my own after that. Now if I could only remember that when painting non-still life subjects! <br /><br />And thank you too for the congrats on Campaspe. It was a surprise ending to a fun experiment. <br /><br />Are you painting? <br />Bruce<br />Bruce B.
