In the works



This is the last sunflower painting for this year.
Of course it's also the largest!

It started out okay.
The drawing went well and the composition was good. 

But...?
I really hated that one sunflower in front. The petals were too round and I just didn't like it.

So I went digital. 
Well, on my phone where I don't have a digital pencil, but I could see that I was right.

So I found a reference photo that might work and liked that it was a different color.

So far so good.
Now just the nitty gritty editing is left.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened.  Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy   Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway.  Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger -  Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants
