Alstroemerias III

 The painting began with ...

this beautiful bouquet!

It was a time of great upheaval. 

My studio was demolished to get ready for a renovation. 

Moving upstairs had advantages: good light, close to the kitchen, but disadvantages in that 

I had to make sure no paint got on the floor, walls, etc!

Anyway, here are my few progress shots of creating Alstroemerias III.

Sketches to get a feel for the flowers.

My Coulter easel was perfect.

This is a sample of how a print would appear.

Blue Bug (on a hill)

 

Long ago, & far away from Juneau ...

My husband and I lived for a short time in Torrington, Wyoming. During the days, sometimes I would walk around the town while Matt was at work (as an Environmental Inspector for a pipeline going in nearby). I walked up a hill and passed a cute blue Volkswagon bug parked along the street. 

Can't quite remember if I sketched this right there, or if I sketched it when

I got back to the apartment. At any rate, I began to paint it. 

The very few photos I took as I progressed are here.
