Back to it! (Red Vase Still Life)

 

Back to painting again after a trip to visit family 💕. For those who are

subscribers to my newsletter I chatted a bit about that.

Jumping back in the saddle, so to speak, 

I bought a cute, fresh bouquet at Freddy's and dug up an 

old canvas with a greenish underpainting

(i forgot to take a picture of that)

and started splashing paint around.

Here are some photos, though not many in-progress.

Red Vase (8 x 8 inches, oil on canvas)

While I liked that little painting,

the more I looked at it,

the more I felt it needed to

have it's (now red, not blue) vase completed!

So, I found another 8 x 8 canvas

with an old painting I could paint over, 

 and added the rest of the vase

& some blurry fruit and reflections ...

it is a tall diptych!

This was so much fun but I haven't forgotten about my portrait project!

I will embark on it again very soon.

For an update about my studio remodel; 

the walls are painted, we laid flooring in,

and I have decided not to paint the cabinets.

The cubbies that came from our guest room are

the same color so that makes things easier.

I will be painting the back panel of those cubbies

with a pop of color, but not a distracting pop,

something nice and calm.

It is getting there! So much organizing to do.
