New Book

OK....I can't get this photo right side up...darn it.  I read this book today and found it quite informative.  Lori Putnam had suggested it in one of her posts.  I am finding that there are areas (lots of them) where I need improvement and so that is my quest.  I am going to re-read Jo MacKenzie's book to learn a little more about Notan (she is the expert).  Hopefully I will start a painting tomorrow and begin to incorporate some of the great things that I am learning.  Oh, the book above was first published in 1971....it is an old book and has timeless information.  Quick book to read with lots of black and white illustrations.  Now I get why it is so important to look at the black and white illustrations of paintings.  Wealth of knowledge in those.

Peach Peony....Day 24

  6"X 6" Oil Ampersand Gessobord $125.00 I'm ready to chill out after this one.  It was really HARD!   So many petals going all different ways.  I am pleased with the results.  I have to laugh at myself....I thought of showing a step by step process in the painting of this peony....but....never looks like anything until the last few strokes!  I am happy with this painting however I got here.  This painting is found here :
