CLASS FLOWERS (Final)

After living with this last nite and today, I simply had to redo again.  You know sometimes it takes time to see our mistakes. When I finished last nite, I still did not like the empty left side,so I decided to put in a window--I liked that, it repeated the "L" design I had going and that never can hurt!  I looked at the flowers again and felt I could improve them--the only thing I didn't repaint was the vase and cup. ( liked those two things) I also thought i could have cut off the left side and then get a custom frame--I am glad I did this instead. :-)

Class Flowers (revisited)

Here is another that I did in class a year or so ago (gosh it could of been 2 years ago- time flies) When I am in class, I leave my brain at the door and feel like I never painted before, so I am not usually happy with what I have done.
This one, I really hated--I drew it too far on the right. So I not only repainted the flowers, I added leaves and clutter on the floor. I also added a shadow behind to take up some space on the left. I still am not real happy, but this is all I could think to do.Howeer, i am going to lighten the lower left rose more thinking left to do! I have been reworking some paintings---I think it is good practice for me since I haven't painted for a long while. Now maybe I will start a new one unless I find some more that i need to "fix".

Revisited-Roses w/ Brass

I reworked this, I was never happy with the composition..-it was way too empty on the bottom. So I added another rose and repainted the rose in the vase. I see a light spot that I need to fix, (darn)
I need to back up a little-- I probably should not have have painted on this today because No. 1- I have not painted in  a long time....2. I am not feeling well (sinusutis) so didn't feel like myself as far as painting and had to stop and wash the old brushes. Hope I can get back painting, it has been so long and I miss it. sorry for rambling.
