Back in the Studio!

Work has been started on a new 8x10 oil. The subject is one large pink rose with pale pink accents on the curve its petals. I plan on including two small, tight buds with greenery.

The basic block in for the large rose has been accomplished, including the negative back round space. The block in has to dry before I proceed to add more shape, color and detail. I expect to be able to continue on this piece by the end of this week.

I plan to work on several small canvas in the meantime, preparing them for additional work.

The blank canvases need a coat of warm grey acrylic to take away the start whiteness of the canvas. (I never work on a stark white canvas with my initial block in of a subject.)

I will be concentrating on several still lift pieces in the near future. One will be a trio of African violets in ceramic pots. Another will be a still life of several colorful vegetables with cooking pots and utensils. Many more ideas are stirring around in my head, but nothing has jelled as yet.

Take care an notice the view...it can be incredible!
