Fresh Bloom
8x6, soft pastel
A lighter view of a poinsettia bloom than the previous "Holiday Reds". This one reminds me of springtime for some reason...I think it's the variety of greens. The paper I'm using for both poinsettia paintings is Pastel Premier. It's not the paper I typically use and I'm not sure how I feel about it...it doesn't alway want to grab onto the pastel which then requires stronger mark making...so, I went with it and just shot for a little more punch to my strokes. I'm tempted to try this one again on a different paper.
