Lemon Daisies

Lemon Daisies  Oil on wood  10" x 10"  NFS
Yes, we're experiencing difficulty getting "in the groove" this week.  Despite being relatively happy with "Lemon Daisies" I gotta say it wasn't a walk in the park.  I tried painting the vase first thinking I'd paint everything else around it piecemeal, big fail!  I ended up repainting parts to adjust values--but eventually had to paint the whole thing over again anyway.

  3. Diane I so admire your work. This is lovely. Agree that the reflective stripe pops the painting. Glad you shared your challenges. I know it is what we all experience but I see each of your paintings as such a triumph of pattern I think of it pouring out onto the canvas for you.

  4. Perhaps you inadvertently scheduled it for publish at a later date? I've done that before (when I was blogging), regardless, the painting is lively and welcoming. :) xo

  5. Loren, no I didn't!! I'm quite sure. I don't know what it was... Had me in a bit of a panic this morning, but I've tweaked a few things and we'll see if evil elves running the internet get one past me again in the future.

  6. That was obviously it, Diane, evil elves! :) You're a pro, and if I may say so, I love seeing your work wind up in my inbox any day--even if it's a repeat. :) Always a welcome sight. xo
