Work In Progress Part Four

Hello Everyone

This weekend was spent painting one of the garden scenes I have  been talking about over the last three weeks.  I concentrated on painting in the foreground using lemon yellow, titanium white, cobalt blue, ultramarine blue and cadmium red to paint in all the different types  of flowers in their various colours.  I painted some from memory and some from the pics i took around the Berkshire countryside, as Dinton Pastures did not have the variety of flowers I needed.  The day went pretty smooth my head was clear for a change, sometimes my thinking is clouded by too many tasks on the to do list and other things going on  in my life.  I finished the trees in the background and added in the sunshine on them and the lawn, I do need to finish the archway and tweak the trees in the background as they look one dimensional at the moment.  I did intend to do that today, which is Sunday but I did not sleep well last night and I woke up at 10.30am so half the morning and good light was gone.  It will be on the top of the list to complete the painting next weekend.

I have had a change of heart about the other four half finished, paintings, I don't like the way some of them have turned out so far, I couldn't get the colours right and the more paint I added the worse it got, urgh! it's time to let go,and as the bluebell scene I did last year is really popular I am going to create more bluebell scenes, and I can't wait to start them I am really excited to make them beautiful scenes.
