Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

Here are some steps in my process above! 

It's not the way I usually go about my work but here it is for this painting.  I will say one thing with bright colored flowers I like to lay the block in on a white ground. That keeps the colors clean especially yellows which get dull and lifeless very quickly!  Anyhow I've been busy just with my job as a mom of 2 little ones so that why I haven't posted lately!  Try do do more soon and please ask questions if you feel so enclined!

Thanks for visiting.  Have a great day!

There is a block in below!  I started by under painting the whole board with viridian green and transparent red oxide.  Then I used a white with a touch of transparent yellow oxide, and touches of viridian and purple lake to block in the whites.  I try to make warm whites!  It's hard you have to keep comparing with the surrounding colors!  It's a balancing act this painting game.  Anyhow as always I mean to take more pictures to show the process.  Hope you have a great weekend!
