The Painting in Progress Images…
The first photo is the painting in progress with the final at the end.
I was thinking about that small warning on review mirrors: "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear". A friend that went with me to the PWAS 50th Anniversary celebration on Saturday, June 5, 2021 was very surprised when she finally viewed my artwork -in person- and said, "the phone really does NOT do the painting justice, does it?" And she is right, looking online, or on your phone does NOT do artwork justice at all.
I hope you know what I mean. It's not just the color rendering in a device to the human eye, but its also a bit of distortion in camera angles and probably a whole lot more than I can cover here. The beauty of an artwork is confirmed in being IN PERSON. At least, I am going with the notion that a "pretty painting" is best viewed in person, as well as a "bad" one if there is such a thing.
Meandering thought, there is art a person doesn't like, but does that make it bad? Anyway, seeing a piece of artwork in person DOES make a world of difference that a camera and displaying on the internet cannot replicate.
What Brought About this Painting?
The next theme for the Prince William Art Society (PWAS, pronounced "P-waz") is flora, fauna and gatherings...interesting combo. The word is that hopefully the art submitted is not the usual overdone, "still life painting pose"...so, in search of a not-the-usual (I hope) flower painting, I came up with bits of lavender.
Someone really needs to come up with paint floral fragrances that don't diminish over time - wouldn't that be a GREAT IDEA!!!????
This post will be a little different than some of my previous "Painting in Progress" posts, where I have the progress and the final all-in-one post.

Quotes about Lavender: To make a perfume, take some rose water and wash your hands in it, then take a lavender flower and rub it with your palms, and you will achieve the desired effect".
-Leonardo da Vinci
The air was fragrant with a thousand trodden aromatic herbs, with fields of lavender, and with the brightest roses blushing in tufts all over the meadows
-William C. Bryant
