Fresh off the easel

Just finished this painting of Hydrangea in the WOil Paint.  Sorry, I haven't posted the steps each day, just kinda new to blogging.  This painting was created from a photo I took of some fabulous flowers a student brought to class.    I started with a block in using lavender and then local color.  The photo was used for reference and inspiration, but color was created by emotion and drawing was liberated with brush stroke.

Back in October, the Martin F. Weber Company asked me to create videos for them in WOil, so I went on location and painted several 9x12 paintings to see if I liked the oil.   From those I selected this image and painted a 18x24 in my studio.  I loved the oil paint and was very excited that the  Weber Company selected me to be their spokesperson.  At this time, a promotional video has been published, (which I still am waiting to see) and hopefully the teaching videos will be ready for sale by the end of this month.
