Work continued on my latest creation of African violets on velvet. The velvet is now red....amazing how you may first decide on one color, then as the painting progresses, you realize that another color will enhance the painting and will be a better choice for the overall color scheme.

Thank God that the violet blooms are so long lasting. I need to wait for certain areas of the painting to dry before I continue with the rendering of the blooms. Hopefully, I will finish the painting next week. It has been a vertual joy in creating this 8 x 10" painting.
