November Tribute

In my attempts to take great photos that represent November, this beauty emerged.

From this I have started painting.

I laid a grid out for this one.

The drawing was going to have to be near perfect to get everything to connect perfectly.

I started applying the warm greens in and realized that I had to be careful not to lose some of the lines drawn in. Also, I had to be careful because I hadn't drawn everything in (as I was afraid I would lose sight with so many lines everywhere).

I found that I am still continually drawing and summing up where everything goes, and making sure it all fits right. I didn't realize how instrumental the drawing would be on this painting.

As I get to this point, it is starting to stitch together better.

There are a few hiccups (the canvas size is slightly boxier than my photo) but I have been able to alter a few things in the drawing to compensate without anyone being the wiser.

Lets see how this is going to go...

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!
