Pink Gerbera And Antique Egg Cup

I have meant to paint this antique egg cup for quite some time and gerbera daisies are such a joy that this painting was a lot of fun.

Golden Glow (Yellow and White Plumeria)


"Golden Glow" 
Yellow and White Plumeria blossoms - Work in Progress
12" x 12" oil on stretched canvas

This painting is almost finished.... need to tweak it a bit with some lavender-blue shadows on the flowers.  If I did that now while the yellow paint is still wet,  the lavender-blue would turn a greenish mud color.  Check back for the completed painting!  I enjoy painting plumeria blossoms and intend to work on more of them in the near future.  

I am also working on a couple of other paintings right now that I am pretty excited about.  I feel so blessed to be able to paint, which I love to do and I derive much satisfaction from a successful painting.
