I was able to get this one done today, pretty much all day, but I've been listening to "sermons" or messages from the fine pastors at Covenant Life Church, such an inspiration, and it makes the painting time go by fast.
(From the home page, go to resources, and you can pick and choose by pastor, topic, series, scripture...)

Anyway, this one is from the same reference I used the other day, but larger this time.

Since I want to paint daisies on a black gessoed canvas, which requires some confidence, I first had to remind myself how to paint these guys, and remember the mixing colors for the white shadowed petals.
So this is a just a practice piece, sketchy and loose. I think I could have let more shadow color show, but I do like the freshness of the whites.

One of the neighbors has a gorgeous azalea bush, that sits in a protected spot, but in full sun. It thrives.
She let me clip a couple of sprigs, and this is what I got. Yes, a drawing. There were a lot more blooms than this, but I tried to get the basic shape. Something a little different, and very time consuming.

White Peony with Bud

This one is a bit more controlled, less sketchy than yesterday's peony piece.
But also more subtle in the colors. What do you think?

Another rough and tumble floral tonight, as I ran around all day, and didn't have much time to really think too much about it, just painted. In spite of that, I'm pretty happy with the way it came out.

Big White Tulip - SOLD

Big White Tulip
Oil on Stretched Black Gessoed Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD

Once in awhile, I enjoy doing something on the black gessoed canvas. The black in this one is not painted, it's the color of the canvas. The black goes around the edges, so you could hang this one unframed.
