Dear Readers,
Today I am sharing how my painting
"Jane's Bouquet"
developed.
This is how it looked right when the bouquet was delivered
to the Juneau-Douglas City Museum at opening night of our
3 Body Problem art exhibit. (I explained about the show on my post of December 31.)
When I got the bouquet home I thought it might be nice to have
it in front of a black background.
But, after I set it on my cardboard still-life plinth,
I loved the way the cardboard contrasted with the flower colors.
... and you see that by now, the poor blossoms have drooped
and faded ...
But I felt I could still capture the beauty of the original.
Here is the beginning, on a big piece of cardboard.
It has this painting on the back, too. (eek!)
I used transparent gesso & turned the cardboard to landscape/horizontal direction.
The following photos are how the progression went.

I realize I didn't explain who Jane is. Jane Terzis was Professor of Art
at the University of Alaska, Southeast. She was then and is still a Master painter and Artist.
She was my major professor when I
was going for my BA in Art. My friends, Timi Johnson and Patrick Ripp also
attended her art classes, and she became a mentor for all three of us.
