Snow Iris

NOT FINISHED YET--SEE BELOW
This was  to this point while I was off work because of our big snow storm here in Kansas so I changed the name in honor of the storm. :-)
It was quite a storm--it was called a "thunder snow storm" as we had thunder and lightening as the snow was falling.
This was a small experiment of mine to see if I would like it if I kept the values close but still have the Iris look white. What do you think?I think I like the glass vase (now tomorrow I will prob change my mind.)

Latest One!!!
Ok I lived with it and I had to redo---I simply have to post it, look at it a couple of days --then redo. I'm not crazy, just I don't know what--can't see the forrest for the trees till I can see--that makes no sense whatsoever!! :-)
I wanted to add that I enhanced this one as I realized after the top one was posted, the values were too far apart--this bottom version has closer values therefore gives a softer look that I was wanting--sometimes when I take a picture, I don't feel it is mine anymore and can see with fresh eyes--I must keep reminding myself to do this.


HAPPY PAINTING and stay warm (all you who live in a cold climate)

IRIS IN WHITE (WIP)

This is really the first pass--I will probably work one or 2 more times --I see things I want to change already and will prob see more when I look at it tomorrow--This is a small painting 8x10--the colors are not true in this photo--I will get a better picture once I get it closer to finish--Happy Painting!

  

Iris

1. Finished the Poppies on to the Iris...This of course is the first block in--I haven't made up my mind but I think they will be white---however i may decide lavender--who knows what mood I will be in when I can finally get back to my Iris--I was excited to start this but knew I wouldn't have time to finish today..... Happy painting everyone!!!!
Keep in mind this is just the beginning--it hopefully will get better.

2. Oh my goodness, I put the undercoat and it is getting uglier if that is possible---I kept going and will post cause I can't leave you here with this!!

Poppy Fields Forever

Quick fun little painting.
12x12
Love Poppies....
Actually the full story is that I changed this little painting many, many times ( I mean I totally changed colors backround-everything) Then yesterday somehow I got it the way I wanted it! :-) So it was easy, quick  and fun when it came together! lol
