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 !

Serious About Cereus - Completed Work

"Serious About Cereus"

12" x 12" Oil on canvas

Completely finished this painting a few minutes ago.   The title refers to how serious this bee was going about his job inside the blossom of a cereus cactus or night-blooming cactus, as it is frequently known by.  I took the reference photo for this painting around 6 to 6:30 on a July morning, because as the sun got higher in the sky the flowers were usually spent and gone by around 10:30 a.m. 

Please contact me if interested in purchasing this painting.
