I am working on a watercolor still life. I bought some gorgeous flowers to go in the little granite ware coffee pot and spent practically all day yesterday setting up the still life. Still not too happy with it, I thought I'd better start painting before the lilies lost their petals. I drew the composition yesterday and alas, the big lily bud bloomed out overnight! Oh, well, I will still paint one big flower and one bud. This painting is going to take some time. It if quite busy and colorful. Keep looking...it will be done when it is done!! (that's an amazing statement, isn't it?)
Egretta, you could have photographed the composition for future reference, though I know that would only be second-best.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy seeing your paintings from start to finish. I like the still life you have chosen, very nice.
ReplyDeleteMark, I did take a lot of reference photos and will use them either in this composition or later. I don't want to rush this, so the flowers may certainly die before I am finished with the painting!
