Hi everyone, Busy day today, I also varnished (few days ago) and Framed my Pink Ladies (Calla lilies) painting in a nice silver weathered wooden floaty frame. I find it always makes a drastic impact when you frame a painting. It just looks complete and clean!

WIP - funky rose painting

Hi Everyone, I haven't done a WIP in some time, so I thought I would share one with you all today. I am presently working on two paintings right now, but I will post the wip of my funky roses in a glass little bowl. The painting will be the same size canvas as my Calla Lilies: 40 x 40 cm and done in acrylics.

Step 1 - drawing on canvas in water colour pencils, then I outlined.

Blocking in some peachy colour for the roses and green for the petalsAdded the background colour now - an acqua glue with hints of green.

Another coat of green on the leaves, then I started defining the glass bowl and added some white to the baby's breath. Calling it a day. Tomorrow I will begin the modeling work; my favourite part. Stay tuned...

The Acutal Paper Clipping

Received the East Ottawa newspaper on Friday. It was really exciting for me to see the article in the actual paper. I have a busy week ahead and then we have Easter (my favourite holiday),

I just hope that we dont get that lousy snow they are mentionning in the forecast for Wednesday. Gosh it just all melted away! Weather is cold and damp again and snow flakes are already falling....! I just cant wait for the real spring and not all these random teasing days we have been getting.
