Fun with Florals

I wanted to paint an uplifting floral arrangement. I went through my files and found a photo from earlier in the year. Ranunculus is one of my favourite flowers but I really like a floral arrangement that has a variety of flowers.
 This was one of those paintings that didn't paint itself. Some just sing from the beginning and this one...not so much. At one point I thought I was done but I put it on the shelf for a day. I added to it, then put it up again. Then finally today I was just going to finish it, or else. 
Now side note here, there's a thing called over-painting. It's an ugly thing and the painting is ruined. There is also the moment when you state it is done because you can't stand it anymore. Despite this overshadowing of doom, I proceeded. It was dodgy but I hope I pulled it off.

This photo shows the colour better. For anyone who has been following me lately you'll know my nemesis of light issues. This also allows you to see scale.

You've Got Mail

I managed to take photos the other day before I sent off a 6" by 6" panel. I thought that a few might be interested in how I try to make sure that you're artwork gets to you unscathed.  Before I do any wrapping, I make sure that all the information is on the back of your purchased art piece. Title, medium, size, Artists name (because my signature is impossible to decipher). Also I print an inventory number which will look something like 026.2018. 1. I wrap all boards/canvases in wax paper. There will be no smudging on my watch. 2. Bubblewrap comes next as I do not want corners dinged.    3. Tissue paper is the third wrap. This is a gift for you or someone you love and I  want you to feel like it's a present when you open it. 4. Inside your envelope you will find:  A Thank You card - because it's important for you to know that you are appreciated.  Two business cards for you to share with others Your invoice and receipt  One
