Susan Spohn -- Yarrow and Mouse (starting)

The Process of a New Painting...

Today I started a new painting. First I did a value study on my board. I just brushed in grey tones to lay out the general painting.

I do not often start with a value study, but this painting had a limited subject matter and really only one and 1/2 types of flowers. The painting will work or not work depending on the the values I choose and the drama.  Below you can see the start of the colorization process. I added  a mouse, (the painting was just calling out for this little guy...) Tomorrow I will finish the painting with my pallet knives.

Oil on Board

Back to painting a few small floral paintings. Concentrating on just a snippet of space within a photograph, I painted just a few flowers. I didn't include any of the background flowers, or landscape, intending for the eye to just observe a few blossoms in a moment in time. This painting is for sale for $55.00 and can be purchased by clicking the PayPal icon on my blog, or you can contact me by e-mail to pay with a personal check. This price includes FREE shipping in the Continental USA.

Susan Spohn --- White Cosmos

Original Oil Painting--

Oil on Board

The splendor and simplicity of a few blooms makes a wonderful  statement. Here you can see how the flowers pick up the colors of the surrounding area. Since I used a painting knife to carve out the petals, this painting is rich in texture. This painting is sold, and I hope to have more small florals painted soon.
