$100 - 6x6" original oil painting on 1/8" panel

The 'flowers in a glass' series continues! Which is a big deal because, my 'series' usually don't make it past number 3, and I'm at number 7 with this one! Today I added a turquoise polka-dotted piece of paper onto the table, just for another element. I had a blast painting them in shadow and in light. Plus, they echo the violet's little yellow centres. Phew!

$90 - 6x6" original oil painting on 1/8" panel

In order to capture the little "whispies" of the willow buds, I used a toothpick. 

Sometimes, a brush just doesn't do the job.

Also, I don't normally paint like this but, when painting glass, it can be easier to just fill in the whole background.

Then I started to build up the glass. Normally, I do a drawing with burnt umber and a thin brush and work my way out. It was quite a challenge to take this approach but... always learning! Cheers.

My flowers in a glass series continues. I love the challenge of this idea. The toughest part is actually keeping the exterior, out the window, all the same value. Of course, the real stars are the flowers, in water and able to breath but not quite free. Check out my facebook page or my Instagram page to see the time lapse film of the painting!
