Progress Shots

This canvas was painted grey to cover up the old painting underneath.


I drew on the picture in light yellow to start and then added more colors as I went.


I was able to bring in a little bit of the shadows.


I concentrated on yellow as that is what was mixed on my palette. I hate wasting paint and once its mixed, that's it. I have a few hours to finish it because it will be half solidified by the next day and I never use that because you get clumps and bits.


This is where I will always stop a painting, having the base colors done. 
The next part of the process is starting over and going over the entire painting again. I really wish I was one of those painters who can knock a painting out in a few hours and it looks amazing.

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!
