Summer Bouquet




This was a nice set up to work from. I chose a larger format and enjoyed the increase in size. With this painting I did an underpainting and was careful to plan more fully. I determined the key that I wanted the painting and worked my color from there. In particular, I enjoyed painting the flowers and the pattern on the background paper.

Lovely clean colors as always, Linda. I am sure it will be stunning to see it in the 12 x 12 format!

Kathy, thank you for your comment...I appreciate your visits to my blog!

Vic, thank you so much for your comment. I think that working with a strong underpainting works well for me. In this one I used a warm red which can barely be seen, but it helped me organie.

Really lovely! I love those glasses--the colors and the way they are cropped at the edge of the painting. My favorite part of the painting are the coral flowers. Just gorgeous!

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
