Poppy Wip3

HI Everyone, I managed to do lots of work yesterday on my painting. I am just about done. I need to model the flowers today with some nice lights and darks and I need to do some more work on the background.

I have really been enjoying this painting. I am anxious to see it finished. Wishing you all a wonderful, creative day.

Still lots more work to do. Hoping to get alot more done today....

Framing

Hi Everyone, Yesterday was a beautiful day here so I went for a nice long walk. Then I did some framing and worked on my poppy painting.

I framed my wild medley painting. Framing always just completes a painting:

My Drawing on canvas of my Tuscan Poppies. I really like the comp and layout. Today I wil be blocking in all the colour

Pansy Parade - IF

The weeks theme over at Illustration Friday is "Parade" I thought that my floral painting entitled "Pansy Parade" was very suiting.

"Pansy Parade" A parade of colours!

New Painting idea: Poppies

Hi Everyone, Working on a new painting idea. I have wanted to paint this painting for some time now. Finally getting to it. It will be about poppies this time. I will paint the painting on a long irregular canvas 35 x 90 cm.

Here is a very rough sketch of my idea.
