another day another field of flowers..... Sunny Fields.

I sit here and think of all the possiblities with flowers...I guess there are more paintings in me after all. ~smiles This one may not be finished after all...appears to have an empty space midcenter...rethinking.


second working.....think it fills out much better....it too me a little while to balance the top flowers and looking at it on the screen there may still need to be a bit more tweaking. Ah, ha, I took out some of the blue green that weaved it's way to the top...and I think that is what is missing...back again to the easel. (the light sure does make a difference the shadowy one at top I like better)

 
now I worry about overworking...better give this one a break and let it rest and come back to it later.

Still Painting.....
 
 
...I think I finally got to a place where I like the colors that I am using. I always have felt that my colors were too harsh, too tube, not enough mixing. So working late at night I think I found what I needed...

Along with the new colors I decided to continue on in the frame of impressionistic fields of flowers. I was going through the internet and came across Farm Garden by Kilmet.... thinking great title I will one day do myself a farm garden. Until then I will continue to paint TEXAS POPPIES 2

Painting.....


Painting...Yes, I am painting...not big, not huge but painting. First I started with a tree from down in Texas an Old Oak tree....not much but at least I had a start.

Pathway 8 x 10
then I found reference photos and decided to do a few studies of trees. I enjoyed the work for the first time in a long time.

Guess  learning how to set up the pages and posting will take a bit of time
