Busy all week with decorations for a friends bridal shower. Still more to do. Sneaked in some painting. Just playing really and quick bits of time.  But I did take a while with this larger image.  I cropped it close. For some reason while painting, I kept circling her face with color. Closing in. Not sure what that was about.

My apologies, still having server issues. You can reload the page if the images are not visible, or click on the description to go to an attachment page.

Happy weekend to you!

When scanned, the background shows as a lovely violet. Pretty, but not true to life. I am in love with this color right now.  And yellow. And flowers.  I woke up with the idea of an intense background, set off with bright yellow buds.

I suppose I should have added some leaves, they are as pretty as the flowers. Well, next time.

Hope you are staying cool, in your neck of the woods!

 

 

 

Blue Sage on Yupo

I have been busy doing design work for a friend’s wedding. Nothing that I can show you. Having fun though! I did do this quick watercolor on Yupo late one night. My brushes were calling.

I used a photo from paintmyphoto.ning.com, by David B. Richman. The intense cobalt blue made me stop and take a closer look. Because the object was so minimal, I wanted to add a lot of interest to the background. To do this, I first laid down a base, and while it was wet I splattered a complimentary earth tone. I continued by splattering clean water, and alternately more of the secondary color.
