First of all, this first picture is of the flower vase - the real thing.

This is what my painting will be based on.

Painting in Progress Images…

The next few are in progress pictures with the final at the end.

Artistic license taken, my angle of viewing was a little off from my photograph anyway.

Painting in Progress: This should be interesting

Painting in Progress: HINT, take a picture of your arrangement because of course, the flowers will not last but so long and the water, probably less.

What Brought About this Painting?

On Saturday, June 5th, 2021, Prince William Art Society celebrated its 50th Anniversary! We were invited to take home the flower arrangement on the table so what better use of it than to paint it! Nothing like painting them while they are alive or from a picture when possible!

And the finished painting...

What should this painting be? Any suggestions? Leave your comments!

In preparing the canvases for painting, from layers of gesso to the first layer of paint, sometimes I will go ahead and give a basecoat to another canvas at the same time. While I was starting "Hydrangeas Over a Rock Wall", I went ahead and did another black and grey split color background similar to the "Large Red and Gold Flower in a Black - White Background" I did a week or so ago. 

I'm considering another flower, a large bloom like a sunflower, rose, hibiscus, etc. Would you like to see anything in particular?

Suggestions are welcome!

March 2, 2021 1:50 pm - I was working on a side project the last few days along with actually wiring all my paintings so they can be hung. In the back of my mind was this background painting and what should be in its foreground. I finally came up with a plan and got it started today.

Also of note, I went to PWAS (Prince William Art Society) Art Show this past Sunday and am thinking to join the local art group - hence the very need to having the paintings ready for hanging too! https://www.princewilliamartsociety.com/
