Am I leaving landscapes for figures?

From my latest posts, one could conclude that I am turning into a figurative artist.  Not so, but I do enjoy doing them.  In fact, I entered three pieces into the WAOW show being held in Texas in November, and the two they accepted were figuratives.  So pehaps it is some reinforcement that I should keep painting them.  This was not entered as it wasn't finished in time for the deadline, but you will find the accepted two on this blog in the last 4 or 5 posts.   I am still not completely happy with this one, but I think it is the best I can do at this time.  Painting faces without detail is not easy!

    Thanks Sharon. Your garden is amazing! I visited your page and I am jealous. Here in the Colorado high country I am a bit limited as our growing season is about 3 months, but when stuff blooms here, it blooms all at once so makes quite a display. Flowers love the lack of heat and the bright sun.
