Ranunculus and Geum in glass vase. Spring Painting

It was as simple as the arrival of a beautiful bunch of flowers from YoungBlooms to my doorstep that inspired this painting. As friends we had an online conference call. Biscuits, wine and flowers were shared for a welcome Zoom chat during lockdown. As the flowers opened and unfolded they begged to be painted; the soft tissued petals ruffling their skirts and shouting "Paint me". Such show offs!! I painted them on canvas and on paper but wanted to start with a mid tone so this card makes all the difference to the mood of the painting. I love the way oil sinks in to unprimed, sucks it in to geat effect and leaves a great surface to work. Perhaps the old masters would have disagreed but....
