"Swamp Mallows Across the Yard"



Acrylic on canvas. This is the third painting of the swamp mallows in 4" x 5" format. It is a real challenge to do the leaf patterns without being so busy and overdone. They grow in a mass and get very tall with buds and leaves everywhere. What I like about this one are the colors of the flowers and the fact that I used fewer strokes to paint them. I am ready to start the large painting now although I will do one more small one along the way.
