I really enjoy painting tin cans, love the reflections on the shiny silver 

tin. All my annuals are dying off now, very sad. But hopefully I will

search for cold weather flowers. Here in Washington State with the first

freeze the geraniums are gone and won't come back. Being from

California I am use to the fuchsias, geraniums etc. thriving for years.

After purchasing these phlox's from the nursery

I placed the flowers on my lap on the drive home.

The sun was casting beautiful light and shadows on them, so

I snapped a few pictures so I could incorporate 

that same light into the painting.
When something strikes me for a painting to paint,
act quickly, take a photo or write down my ideas
for a painting (subject matter etc.) I sometimes
wish I had remembered that thought or had taken that photo,
  I have done that quite often and regret it. (I'm talking to myself)
This time I didn't second guess and went for it! Flowers in my lap
in the car with wonderful light!
