More Previews of the upcoming Diptych

Whew, been working too much this week. Hardly any time to paint in the studio. I did get a bit further painting a bit on my new large diptych. Here are some more preview photos... I hope to get in the studio this weekend. Maybe the painting will be finished on Monday!  (or not, ha.ha.)

The Start of a New Diptych

Just a peek at my new large diptych currently in progress.... This one features a flower garden (yes, again) and some critters... one of them looks to be a cat. I am enjoying the start of this new painting and hope to finish it in the next 5 days.  Stay tuned.....

I have finished this large diptych of a wonderful flower garden. I painted this piece using mainly pallet knives and then finishing up with some brushes. This was a whimsical, fun adventure starting with just a few photos of some flowers I wanted to use in this garden. Then as I started, I imagined I could see a cat sitting in the garden, watching a spider...... well, the storyline grew from there, until not only was there a resplendent floral garden with a cat and a spider.... but also; a caterpillar, a salamander, 2 frogs, a baby bunny, 3 bees and 4 butterflies! Can you find them all?

Here are some hints:
