ORIGINAL DAISY PAINTING

WOW...It has been a hot one...At 4 pm, my outdoor thermometer showed 107 deg. That is a bit too toasty for my liking...I decide to save these little daisies from the heat and bring them indoors...They seem much happier!

This is a small painting...6"x 8"..

WHITE ORCHIDS on DARK by OLGA WAGNER

This is based on another reference photo from the wetcanvas image gallery. Even though, I love Orchids and have couple plants, they are not in the best shape for being my muses. I definitely was not blessed with a green thumb...




CLASSIC BEAUTY
8" x 8" Oil on Museum Quality Panel

Available 150




Here I used Transparent Orange and a liner brush to do a quick sketch. It is very, very loose at this point..




Transparent under painting has been completed and I am starting to work with opaques to lay in the detail on the flowers.



And here is the preview of what's to come!  One of my kitties, Pugsley, was not feeling very well last night and I could not sleep. I started this bad boy around 2am, but did not want to continue... I am hoping to work on him tonight and finish him (most likely around 2 am)...

WHITE LILIES on RED by OLGA WAGNER

I painted these two gorgeous lilies as part of the challenge posted on PaintAndDrawTogether. This is my first contribution to this challenge - I just could not resist trying my hand at such stunning flowers.



DOUBLE TROUBLE
8 x 8  Oil on Canvas Panel

Available  150 with Easel



 In this step, I laid in all the shapes using transparent colors. notice that the whole canvas is covered and I really paid close  attention to the values of the shapes.

 
Here I am already progressing to applying the more opaque colors - always working on the entire canvas - at this point I don't want to get stuck in one particular area. By concentrating on just one area you take a risk of loosing sight of the BIG picture and how the shapes and values talk to each other.


Here I am basically done with the major areas. All is left is some fine tuning and adding a bit of pizzaz to the painting by strategically applying dabs of color throughout.

Another small floral - I think it is some variety of a Daisy, but what do I know...I know more about animals than flowers!
