Another Process Painting

This is another example of me painting over something on a canvas.

I only do it if there is a little bit of paint like a drawing that just didn't make the cut or an underpainting where the paint has been thinned out a lot. I don't want to work on a rough surface and I certainly and not going to sell it that way either.

This base painting came out really well. You can see the drawing lines still but they are not overwhelming and all the colors are already there. Putting the time in the prep work really pays off.

I went back in and pushed the rendering further and was glad to see that there were not too many drawing mistakes to be fixed. Always glad when that happens.

I stopped here.

Although there is more rendering and everything is shaped more I have lost some of the color.

The next part in the process will be me going back in with some color.

Spring Rhythm

This is another one of my faves! It's a softer Spring piece but there is something almost musical about the flow throughout. The yellow flowers were trimmed from my rosebush out in the front yard. The rest of the arrangement came from Creekview Floral, who do amazing bouquets and arrangements. "Spring Rhythm" 12 x 16 oil on canvas This one needs a new home!

Did someone say they wanted a painting with color? HOT Pink! available as original or as a Print!

Iris (19-14)

Another iris for the collection. This is a part of the spring collection that I am working on. I kept the background simple so the focus was on the main attraction, the bloom. The purple is a deep variation of colour and the top of the bloom is a gauzy white. This artwork could work in any room. It's small size allows for it to be a part of a larger compilation or in smaller spaces such as hallways, kitchen, or bathrooms. Iris (19-14) 6" by 6" oil on canvas board Click to buy with Paypal
