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"..

SUNFLOWER FLORAL BOUQUET by OLGA WAGNER

I had so much fun working on this one. The combination of warm transparent colors, coolness of daisies and the bright sunflowers makes this painting sing. This bouquet radiates a feeling of HAPPINESS.

I am also working on finalizing the date for my July workshop. Looks like July 21 or 28 are currently open. Safe Haven for Cats have graciously agreed to let me use their facility. Who knows, we might even paint a kitty....

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.

WORKSHOP WITH DREAMA TOLLE PERRY Day 3 - SOLD

On the third day of the workshop we got to paint from our own reference photos. I specifically elected to paint sunflowers in order to gain more confidence with painting various shades of YELLOW... Being primarily an animal painter I don't get to work with large areas of yellow on a regular basis..Have you ever seen a yellow cat? I have not...

This one has a bit of palette knife work in it too...I so do love the knife...for the texture and color application that it affords me...I try an include knife work in all of my paintings...

SUNFLOWER AND CARNATION FLORAL by OLGA WAGNER

Here is another floral that I believe is 99.99% complete...I have not varnished this baby yet...It is hanging on my wall as I contemplate the blue background..I really love the overall feel and look and that is why I have taken the painting of the easel and hung it on the wall...Originally I was going for a more washed out blue, but the color fiend in me took over...As always...
