Flowers

or daisies or an obsession. It seems that I have decided to go with this style of flowers. I find them easy enough to paint and it allows me to get better. Maybe I have gotten better and maybe they are just the same, but it is practice and I need lots of it. It started with on of the yellowish flowers painted with the idea of a butterfly landing on it. I wanted a big looking flower and a butterfly to be smaller. In the end, the butterfly sucked. It really sucked. It was horrible. However, I loved the flower and have been painting them since. Here are some of them









These are all on the cheap 10" frames that I got from Joann's. 

The one below is on a canvas that I made.



I think I prefer my canvases overall. I buy the duck cloth from Joann's also. I love going in the store. Everyone is so nice that works there.

To add insult to injury about the butterfly pic on the flower, the paint peeled when I was trying to cover it and using a pallet knife. I now give a brief sanding to the cheap canvases to help with adhesion.

I will keep buying them since making my own takes more time, but I do prefer mine.

I hope that since I can incorporate many things with this title that I will have a more inclusive blog on many of the things that I do. I do not do much in reality but I do some things and want to do more. Now maybe I will be properly motivated to put anything on this blog. I have many pics of food that I have cooked. I have pics of food Mom made for me. I hope to add all. I probably won't though. Just wishful thinking on my part. I do hope to add many from the past and most if not all from the future that  I deem worthy. I have items I want to build and want to put them here also. I will also get on my soap box occassionaly, just because  I can. I probably won't do too much though. Happy viewing.

...an abstract

This is more of what I consider a pure abstract. I tried it and liked it over all.

Camelia

I have been trying flowers and I found a pic I had of a camelia flower. I have tried painting it twice. Once on a very small canvas and a 12x12 canvas. Juliann likes the 12x12 and wants it. So, she will get it. The top pic is of the smaller canvas and bottom pic is of the 12x12 canvas. I did not make that one. I made the small canvas.
