Getting the Colours Right

When I start painting I try to get the paints set up in the right hues on my palette.

This doesn't always go according to plan, in fact, it seldom does.

The colours got too dark and I couldn't see what was going on in the shadows.

By letting it dry and starting with a clean palette, I was able to put on those highlights and clean it up.

I stepped away at this point

(actually, I believe my son told me it was time to play a game app with him)

and let it dry again.

The final highlights will come next.

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!

Hydrangeas

It's that time of year! Hydrangeas have bloomed. Sunflowers have bloomed. If you want them all year round, here's the best way to keep them! All are still available!
