Dinard Blue Heaven - Stage 2 Work In Progress

"Hurry? I never hurry.  I have no time to hurry."  - Composer Igor Stravinsky


Dinard Blue Heaven
Work In Progress- Stage 2
12" x 12" oil on gessobord panel

This cattleya orchid is taking some time to complete.  It will need to dry before I work on it again.   As much as I would like to complete a painting in one sitting, most of the time it is my habit to work in stages and not hurry.  Stay tuned for the completed work.

Pretty Exciting !

Iris -WIP
18" x 24" Oil on gallery-wrap canvas

Well, this new work in progress is very exciting to me !   It is a new subject to tackle -always exciting- and also it is a larger size canvas than what I have been working on lately.   Below is my reference photograph I took in a suburb of Salt Lake City a few years ago.    Even older photos can get me excited to begin a new work !


It is obvious I changed things a bit in the arrangement of the Iris in my painting and things may change more as the painting progresses.   The painting so far is just a very rough lay-in of color and will be more defined as time goes on.    
I also worked on my flamingo painting today (Saturday) and it is coming along just fine.   Have to wait for it to dry to put more details in later.  Stay tuned !
