Peonies Sneak Peek

Here's a quick look at a medium sized canvas that I have worked on.

The canvas is 16" by 16" and I first start out with trying to get the base colors all rendered in.

The next step I do is start to fill it in with details and more realistic color.

I do a lot of correcting.

It looks and feels a lot like fiddling but I think that is the only way to learn.

For a painting this size, it takes about three or four paint days. I'll paint the first day until everything is wet, then I wait for it to dry. This process continues until I get it right.

Gotta keep trying.

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
