First of all I finished another work in my shoes series. This painting is a take off on the "Party Flats" piece. The shoes which are the subject of both pieces are actually black with a black patent toe and heel. In "Party Flats" I chose to use vibrant colors for the shoes as opposed to the native color of black. This time I went back to the shoes' true colors and added a gold necklace. Here you see the result...."Black Patent Flats".
The second accomplishment was the underpainting for a piece I am going to call "Sunflowers". My good friends Barb and Charlie brought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers upon my return home from my surgery. In the bouquet were three beautiful sunflowers. I decided they had to be painted. So I pulled them out along with some vibrant purple flowers and began taking pictures out in the sun on the patio. Today I selected the composition I wanted to paint, created the drawing and painted the watercolor underpainting. I really like the results.....hope I don't mess it up when I start with the pastels!!!
Finally.....I had some time to work some on the painting I started Wednesday plein air painting in the Castle Hot Springs area. I ended up brushing off some of the work I had done on site and began reworking some of the areas. It is a rough half done piece here.....but I think it has potential!
Yes....a good day in the studio while the clouds roil around outside and light rain continues to show up every now and then.
