This blue Clematis is 24 inches by 24 inches on wrapped canvas. A variety of layers of blues were used to complete this piece. I'm still thinking of a name for it. Any ideas?
Since I've got that pesky need to create I started working on a trio of white orchids.... This is the first undercoating. First I start with bright under paintings so that the color will come thru. It kinda reminds me of a watercolor. It's tempting to leave it like this. Perhaps another time I'll experiment more at this stage...but for now I'm turning it more white.
And here's another update of it looking more white :) .
Being that it's oil and I have to wait till it's dry I've started working on something a little more colorful. White's hard to work in the dead of winter...especially when we've had snow on the ground for over 2 months now. Did I mention we have a 2 1/2 month old snowman? I digress, here's my newest work in progress ...a hibiscus. It's a fancy one with all sorts of petals in the middle. Normally peachy color I decided to kick it up a few notches. Then my hand, wrist and arm started hurting. Time to rest and get back into shape.. after not painting much lately I'm out of shape!
