Today — January 28th — is National Daisy Day. Perfect timing for finishing an 8×8 painting I was working on from Acrylic University‘s “Bold and Beautiful” Summer Challenge from last year. This painting is based on a reference photo taken by Jed Dorsey.

I did my painting on an 8×8 black canvas that I had painted over with a blue gray color which ended up working well for conveying the shadows on the back petals.

This is the final and below are some in-progress shots.
