Yellow Roses (Liz Robbins 3rd on-line lesson)

This of course is not done....I , again did not use the right size canvas and the flowers kinda grew and I almost did not have enough room.  The lesson was about looking at shapes--not a rose or petals but the shapes of dark and light and warm and cool and it boggled my mind.  I think I made it harder then it needed to be.  I do that sometimes when I try to hard....I painted this while we had our first blizzard of the year.  Church was canceled and I painted Sunday and again today (Monday) as I didn't;t go to work because of the slick streets.
I tried to work on it today and the paint was not dry but tacky--not the best conditions for painting. I overworked and just was trying to get it done.  I hurried and posted it on instagram and also on the closed group that we have for all of us who take the on-line course.  I left the posting stay for about 10 minutes and then pulled them off as I knew I need to work more on the painting,  The blue flowers look so gray in the photo--I do not like the gray color.
Anyway, I'm glad I decided to work more on this painting--I think I can make it better---I hope...
Happy painting!

Sunflowers (2nd Liz Robbins on-line-class)

Almost done--One more painting time to fix obvious mistakes (why can't I see them while I'm painting?
No one says it's easy and besides Walking Dead is on cause it's
Ricks last episode.
But I digress --I love these classes--learning so much--can' t wait to paint again on this --I think I can fix my mistakes with one more session. Happy painting






Here is the latest version--I am happier with this--I need to paint more and not be so lazy. Thanksgiving is over and I have extra days off so hope I'll get more painting time in. Hope your thanksgiving was good---mine sure was--love being with the family and of course the food!!!

2nd Lesson with Liz Robbins--"Sunflowers"

I just had to start this before I worked more on the first lesson (the apples).
This is just the first pass- I like to show how I start--hopefully I can work more tomorrow and post the changes I will make and hope you will see a difference. Happy Painting!!

Apples On A Shelf (1st lesson for Liz Robbins on-line class)

Here again I feel I cannot paint......I adored the lesson and I did learn a lot but really struggled with this.  This happens sometimes--I just don't understand the apple on the right---how on earth did I get it out of shape. I am not posting on on her private group page--but just here to remind me not every painting turns out right. Maybe, when I am in a better mood, I will go back and fix the shape on the hideous apple.  aargh!  lol
Happy painting!

Here is the latest version below--I finally got back to it and I like this better---hope you do too! Happy painting!
 

Roses (from Liz Robbins free lesson for on-line class) 2nd try

I worked again on this--don't know if u can tell any improvement--I worked on all the roses and changed the bud and leaves on the table. I don't think I can paint anymore.  I have been traumatized with my wreck on Friday--it feels now that I  will never be the same again---I know I know I am very dramatic--oh well happy painting!

Roses (from Liz Robbins free lesson for on-line class)

I have painted all weekend from Elizabeth Robbins free on-line class.  This is not done--I have to repaint the table when it dries as the paint is pulling off with each stroke, I want to work more on the roses and copper pitcher and also the bud and leaf on the floor.

I was so excited to paint this that I rushed ahead and messed up from the beginning.  I either placed the pot too high or painted the roses to big as there should be more room at the top.

I shouldn't post it to our private group page till I fix things---but I think I will as so many have already posted theirs and I feel behind.  Happy Painting!

Silver and Apples (revisited)

I had been dreaming of redoing this painting for ages and it finally I got around to it. I like it much better now.  Happy Painting!!!!
