Well, I am ready to jump in to the world of bloggers! I hope to grow and learn with my art by doing smaller studies. I will not be able to do a painting a day but I hope to be able to paint at least a couple times a week. I am really enjoying the freshness and looseness of these quicker studies.
So here I go...I hope you'll join me!

I wanted to practice painting roses today. Roses have a transparency and luminescence that makes them appear to be lighted from within. I chose yellow roses because I felt that exaggerated that glow even more. I put them in the blue and white vase, I think the colors work well together. I feel the delicacy of the flowers and vase also compliment each other very well. To further enhance the glow of the flowers I decided to paint them under a warm light source.
Let me know what you think!

Yesterday I painted these roses with a low key lighting...today I wanted to try high key. I think my whites became too warm and the overall painting would be better a bit cooler in temperature. I like how it turned out overall though.

Be an Artist: Don't Settle for the Status Quo
by Keith Bond
Be impatient. Don't wait. Take your art and art marketing into your own hands. Build your own value. Produce art that others will gladly pay for. Enable yourself to dream. And take initiative to act on those dreams. Be an artist. Don't settle for the status quo. [...]

These brave and glorious little roses gave me one last opportunity to paint them! Today I selected an antique vase, given to me by my Grandma. I wanted to keep the arrangement simple so that the flowers and vase didn't have to compete with other elements in the painting.

This little crock seemed like the perfect backdrop for the geraniums and lace. What an "old fashioned" charm! I wanted to play with the magenta and blue in this painting to make the magenta in the geranium pop. I really do like the two colors together..what do you think?

In today's painting I wanted to focus on the beautiful red rose. The rose was so intense and soft as velvet. I thought the white-on-white background and creamer would allow the rose to be the grand stander. The gold colors of the cruet are neutral, but give a wonderful sense of richness and balance to the painting. The whites were a challenge. I wanted to be sure they were the right value so they would register as being white, but still remain lower in intensity than the rose.

I wanted to try painting the red roses so that they were the primary subject. I kept everything else very simple and values much darker...you can barely see the suggestion of the vase in the background. I think this painting is very dramatic and has a more formal feel about it.
