Flores from Molly

Molly brought me over flowers for having her for dinner last night. She also suggested that I use inexpensive platforms for my quick studies instead of expensive canvases. I bought some slate for $1.19 at Home Depot yesterday, and primed it with a clear acrylic varnish. I decided to do a quick study of Molly's flowers using only a few colors and a palette knife. I am terrible at photographing my work, so I took two pictures.  One has some shine from the flash even though I tried to bounce it with some white paper. (Come to think of it, the shine might be from the light above.) The second image is without a flash, so it is a little blurry.
