Beginning a new garden painting, plus ... a sale on favorite prints!

Commission WORK-IN-PROGRESS • 16 x 20 inches

Here’s the first layer of a new garden painting commission. As you can see, the underpainting is really vivid, but tomorrow when I start adding the oil colors it will change and really start taking shape. The very nice person commissioning the painting requested roses, irises, and hollyhocks, among other flowers, and a composition similar to a previous painting. It was really fun arranging these plantings in my sketch (way easier and quicker than doing plantings in an actual garden!) Check back to see how those flowers begin to emerge.

AND NOW ...
