HALF SHEETS - WIPS COMING ALONG

Here's the next stage of Stranded:















And more of the Water Lily:




I'll keep working on both of these. I know the water lily will be finished long before Stranded will be :)

  1. oh, but it is ok if Stranded takes more time, after all it is more complex, right? both of them are looking good so far, lots of blue all around *yum*

  2. Hello !
    Very nice detailed work in Stranded. The texture is very well suggested and I think that the complementary contrasts announced in your previous post will add more and more interest to the painting.

  3. Yes, I know this will take longer, Teresa. I'm also working and working and working (and not getting right) a portrait...again...of you know who :)
    Thanks, Catherine. I've been working a bit more on it today, in between other things.

  4. The strands must take incredible patience. Love the water lily at this stage - it's vibrant!

  5. Thanks, Deb (I'll try) and Suzanne! I'm slowly working a bit on both so I hope I don't overwork or overdo either one at this point.
    Catherine, I visited your site and it's beautiful - you have a light, lovely touch with watercolors :)

  6. You're running wide open Rhonda, lots of projects and paintings, I can't keep up! The flower is really beautiful, you have got that wet look working, #1 thing in w/c imo. Would I be correct in saying you naturally lean toward the cooler palette? Is there a red hot R. Carpenter out there, let's see it!

  7. You are a busy man, Nick, so I don't expect you to keep up with me! ha ha And, yes, it's obvious I am an ice queen, winter palette, woman :) - it's got to have blues to make me happy! ha ha I have worked in warm colors (sometimes successfully, sometimes not), but my heart goes to the blues and violets and all things cooler..the colors in a Caribbean sea are just right for me.

  8. Ooooo, the fleur de lis is making wonderful progress. I love it's placement. The background keeps my eyes running over the whole piece.
