In Golden Pond is a mixed media painting (mostly acrylics) that I did a while back.  I enjoyed the process and the colors so I thought I would share it again.  I am thinking that I need to revisit this medium.  I think I have changed this one a little since this photo was taken, so I will have to update the photo.

I thought I would see how "Forbidden Fruits" looks.  I have taken this piece to Stinger Studio.

My new floral is as much about glass as the white lilies that dominate.  I am always interested in negative shapes and transparency.   

This painting is all about warm whites.  I wanted to make shapes and values the dominant elements to take this floral to a different place.  This painting needs a little more work.  I will post it again soon.

As you can see by the signature, this painting is turned on its side.  It is better this way,so I will be signing it to orient it this way.  It is great to have trusted friends help give a critique of work.  They can sometimes find just the right solution to a problem that I don't even see.  I don't know why it works better this way, but I am much happier.  What do you think?

You should see my poor table.  It has the saddest looking floral arrangement you ever saw.  The water is cloudy, there are petals all over the runner and many of the stems are flowerless.  But there is just enough to inspire me to complete my painting.  I normally work from life instead of photos, so working fast is a must.  I hope you enjoyed seeing my process.  This painting is called A Moment In Time.  I had fun painting it and it made me remember how much I enjoy painting tulips in watercolor.
I will clean up my mess now...

These tulips were sitting on a colorful table runner.  I decided that I could add it to balance the dark background.  There is also a tulip resting on the table that I will be working on next.
