Cabbage Rose Bloom (19-27)

Okay, it's been a while since I've posted and it's really overdue.

Here is how I've spent the last few days.

I created the colours on the palette ahead of time so I used the real colours for the rough in drawing instead of a neutral colour. No particular reason except that the colours were already available to me.

I fought the background a bit trying to figure out how much attention I should give it.

Shadowing for me is one of the hardest elements, if you grey out the colour too much it just looks dirty. Implementing too much colour in the shadow takes away a more realistic colouring. I am still learning, getting there.

Cabbage Rose Bloom

(19-27)

oil on stretched canvas

10" by 8"

I've used one of my new canvases for this painting. The stretcher is so much stronger than the previous ones. I have had a painting bow on me and I have to restretch it now and I'm less than pleased. So from now on, the canvases are going to be super strong.

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!

Color!

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
