Buzz - Day #3

Still painting and working out the finishing touches on two of the three paintings I started Monday. The third one has eluded me ... going to approach it tomorrow with a fresh mind!

I believe these two are very close to being completed ... and I would welcome comments from any of you if you see design problems. I have one area on both pieces that I think needs attention. I have my plan laid out in my mind but it is always interesting to hear what others think. I will post the finished photos tomorrow and you can see if you suggested what I have planned. Who knows, after a good nights sleep, I may change my mind (smile).

It has been fun and challenging to work large and with full bodied acrylic .... very painterly. I still like my watercolors best but it feels good to layer on the paint.

Don't shy away from a task just because it is not what you are used to ... find the fun in it and you will learn.

  1. Teri, the only area I see I would want sometime in is right on the right, under the poppy petal where above is extremely dark and below white. My eye keeps niggling there..... ;) professional term, you know?
    Love the COLOR!!!!

  2. Thanks Anne
    I love the term niggling ... perhaps a slight value shift is needed there.
    the piece is 30 x 30 canvas ... it has been fun!!
