SOLO SUNFLOWER



This is a re-work.  I previously had painted the background with too much blue.  By lightening it up it became a warmer more inviting image.  Of course when you change one thing it always requires changing another so the shadow was too blue and had  to be lightened.  I'm now pleased with the final image as it feels warmer and more inviting.
 If you are a painter don't hesitate to re-work images that don't quite seem right to you.  You can rub a layer of Liquin on the dry painting to restore the colors and to make the surface more accepting of the new paint.

Thanks for viewing my blog.  If you have any questions just email me at my email address below..

DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES



I finished this last weekend, but just got around to posting it.  I'm doing a workshop with JOHN COSBY.   Have only done the first day, but it seems he is a wonderful teacher.

The rose actually is a Diana, Princess of Wales rose.  It is quite lovely and I enjoy it so much.  It does make me sad when I think of how much Diana would have contributed to the lives of her children, family and country had she been allowed to live.  The glass jar is actually a Ball jar, but to put the name on the front would have made it busier than I preferred.

Hope you are all having a wonderful week.  I feel truly blessed to be taking  this workshop and to be able to paint at the beach every day!!
