Process

I have been painting a lot of 10" by 10" canvases lately.
Like most things that you do over and over again, you realize that you have a method.


I have a tendency to paint my canvases three times.
The oil paint always gets too wet and you have to stop or everything gets grey really fast.


So I usually do what I call the rough base coat first.



I sometimes go further and fill in on the first go.
Yet I'm not good enough yet to fill it all in and all the details yet. It probably is also due that I paint in layers and glazes for some of my petals instead of just flat color applied strategically beside another.


As I'm learning and improving, I guess the important thing is that I get there in the end.

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!
