The Start of a New Painting

Fractured Floral

11 x 39 inches

oil on wood panel

Here is the start of a new oil painting. I have a long ways to go towards completion, but I have most of the flower heads in place and the colorization will go on from here. The background will be all broken strokes of color, thus giving the painting it's title. I will hopefully complete this painting in the next 2 days.

 And here is the painting with most things finished. I will be adding some butterflies and other critters after the flowers mainly dry. So it will be a few days before I continue working on this painting.

Mason Jar Floral with Yellow Ribbon

I was paging through a magazine and came upon a beautiful yellowish background. And thought, I have to do one of my Mason Jar series with this yellow background. Now my painting has lots of yellows in the background. I think it compliments the flowers in the bouquet. This top image is the completed painting. Even though the little statuette was had more grey in it, in the end the duck looks better with the yellow colors.

*(notes from the first post:I have finished this painting for now. I may go back into it once it dries and change a few things. I sort of like the tension between the duck statue and the Mason Jar bouquet. Maybe I will tone down the ducks colors to a softer yellow. Things to think about. )This painting will be for sale once it dries, for $300.00, contact me for shipping details.

Floral Abundance

oil on watercolor paper

I actually started this piece a couple days ago, and have just finished it. My photo reference was a wildflower garden up in Winter Park, Colorado that was so filled with flowers, it looked almost unreal. I could have selected just a portion of the photo to inspire me, but instead wanted to express the sheer abundance of flowers. Contact me if you are interested in this painting.
