In the new studio painting this morning on the annual peonie floral painting.  Originally, I did not plan for this each year, but it seems to have now become a tradition.  The inspiration comes from a floral bush that we have in our background that blooms each Spring around the middle of May.  For the last six years I have brought in a bouquet of cut flowers and painted a floral abstract.  I was working this morning on this year's painting which reminded of the one I did last year, "Love Blooms" which was a full bouquet, now available from my Etsy shop: HERE.

Progression of a commission (part 3)......

Commissioned Painting

Acrylic on 36" x 50" wrap canvas

Here I continued layering filling in the floral bouquet.  The upper left corner was layered with a lighter color and then with the end of my brush I scratched gestural lines through the surface, revealing the darker under color.  Swirls of color were emphasized and gold metallics were used  in the bouquet as well as added to the background.  I will spend a few days continuing to pick up on the detail.  Then an image will be sent to the client for approval.

and the answer is..... The Sydney Opera House! Many of you guessed the landmark that Ocean Opera was titled after. Well, I got done with Ocean Opera and I was staring at the next canvas. This one already had this golden under painting on it that I had put on last summer, with another idea in mind, and then I left it to work on watercolors. As I got ready to begin this one, the night before I had absolutely no idea what it would be, but I did know that it would happen.

I had brought home the smaller framed painting from the Bellwether Gallery, and had hung it on
the wall in our living room. The next morning as I was eating breakfast I glanced up and noticed the background color on this little one was almost exactly the color I already had on the canvas downstairs! There it was! I would reproduce it on to the larger canvas. It absolutely amazes me how God provides. Along with some of my abstracts, this had been one of the paintings that Hawthornes last fall had liked, only they preferred larger pieces. I have an appointment to take in abstracts at the end of this month, and so I've been concentrating more on these abstracts. It still amazes me! The canvas was ready, I had just picked up the piece it was to become the day before, and then I just happened to glance at it as I was eating. Hope they like it!

There it is on our wall! I had to check it out and see how it looked. The little painting came about last fall as I was working on another abstract for several hours and listening to Secret Garden. I was a little frustrated with what was going on and picked up a small piece of watercolor paper and Rose of Sharaon just happened. Enjoy!

Tomorrow night is First Friday Art Walk for downtown Springfield, and the grand opening for RedVelvetArt. We were there this morning helping to hang some prints on clipboards. It is all so beautiful and amazing. They were taped this morning and will be on tonights news. Looks like we are going to have some nice weather as well, and this will help bring everybody out.
