Works In Progress - Gerbera

The paintings shown here on my easel are works in progress of pink gerbera daisies. They are each 8" x 8" oil on canvas.   I do not think I will finish them today but thought you would like to see what I have been working on this morning. I am thinking of including bees in the upper section of each painting...just for fun !

Below are my reference photos I took a few months ago of these flowers purchased at a florist.

Stayed tuned for the finished paintings !

Full Moon At Dawn (Hawaii)

I finished this painting a few minutes ago; it is one I had mentioned in an earlier post that I had been working on.    Sometimes it is difficult to know when a painting is finished.  But then, perhaps it is like Paul Gardner has said, "A painting is never finished - it simply stops in interesting places."  

This scene is based on a photograph I took on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Below is a better photograph of my wood duck painting I posted previously.

Oh So Blue - Drake Wood Duck

Oh So Blue 

12" x 16" Acrylic on panel

This was finished in the wee hours this morning (Friday).    The blue water is really very blue, but this photo exaggerates the blue a bit.  I rather like how the water turned out, especially the refreshing blue.   Let me know what you think.

Second Stage - WIP Wood Duck

Work In Progress- Second Stage 

12" x 16" acrylic on panel 

Guess it is pretty obvious that I made the water more blue now instead of with a lot of green in it.    This is still very much unfinished and I need to tone down the water more and correct and add some things.   Hopefully it will be finished tomorrow or the next day.   

I welcome any questions and comments !

The Going Is Slow

This is a photo taken about 4 years ago on the "Big Island" of Hawaii.   I recently worked for about 3 days on a miniature painting inspired by this photo; although in the painting I put in a white farmhouse and a red barn and it is dawn with a full moon .    Now that I got your curiosity up, I'm not ready to post the painting yet because there is something just not to my liking about how it turned out so I am setting it aside for now and will begin work on my wood duck painting this afternoon.   But I did want to share with you these photos below of a beautiful waterfall on the Big Island.   Well, I goofed trying to align the pictures.  I hope to paint this waterfall found in a botanical garden whose name I can't recall at the moment.   I included the photo of myself and my son just to give you an idea of the scale of the waterfall.

I have  been painting very slowly lately !  Hopefully the wood duck painting will be finished in 2 or 3 days, so please visit again real soon.

Wood Duck - Work In Progress

Wood Duck - Work In Progress

12" x 16" Acrylic on panel 

This is a brand new start on a favorite subject of mine - the Wood Duck drake, but also the ripples and colors in the water are always fascinating for me to paint.  This image was photographed outside.  Below is a photo taken inside on my easel.  Note the difference .....

Colors always look bluer when photographed outside; however, the lights inside on this photo is not 100% true either.   I am also working on other paintings, so please check back real soon !
